Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and increase gradually only if needed, avoiding sudden light changes during acclimation.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually to its final position, especially when moving it into brighter light or stronger water movement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive coral may sting nearby specimens, so moderate placement and room around the colony are important.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but avoid overfeeding and remove excess food from the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral after any adjustment. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or flow, and make changes gradually so the coral can settle into its placement.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate spacing from neighbors.
