Its moderate care profile rewards steady conditions and thoughtful placement.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter areas, and avoid sudden lighting increases.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without subjecting its fleshy polyps to direct aggressive flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Allow time to acclimate before changing its position or increasing light and flow.

Temperament

Give it room from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral should have spacing to reduce contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize consistent husbandry rather than treating supplemental feeding as required.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after adjustments. Make changes to lighting or water movement gradually, and avoid abrupt increases that can stress a fleshy LPS coral.

Steady conditions, indirect flow, and adequate spacing support long-term care.
