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. Start in gentler light and acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into a brighter established reef.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to settle before adjusting its position or increasing light and water movement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral should have room around it to reduce contact and potential stinging interactions.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize appropriate placement, gentle flow, and stable conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after any change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually so the coral can acclimate without unnecessary stress.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and room from nearby corals.
