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

Use low to moderate lighting. Start conservatively and avoid sudden increases in intensity while the coral acclimates to its new reef environment.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle water movement helps keep the coral clear of debris without subjecting its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter light or stronger water movement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may require room to reduce contact and potential stinging issues in a mixed reef.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered when appropriate, but maintain gentle flow so food can reach the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral during acclimation. Avoid abrupt changes to lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually. Check that placement remains clear of nearby corals and that flow stays indirect.

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