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 conditions, to avoid sudden light increases.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in a lower to middle reef area with moderate placement in mind. Allow time to adjust before making changes to light or water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral space from nearby corals. Leave room around the specimen to reduce contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered but are optional. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive, without blasting food onto the coral.

General Care

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

Provide steady conditions, indirect flow, and adequate spacing for reliable care.
