Its care centers on gentle acclimation, stable conditions, and room from neighboring corals.

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. Begin with gentler exposure and increase only gradually, avoiding sudden lighting changes while the coral acclimates.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep debris from settling without blasting the fleshy polyps with direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and make any changes to light or water movement slowly.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral adequate spacing from nearby corals. Leave room around the specimen to reduce the chance of contact and stinging issues.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so focus first on stable conditions and observe how the coral responds.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for changes in polyp behavior after adjustments. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make placement changes gradually. Consistent observation helps guide spacing, flow, and acclimation decisions.

Keep conditions steady and give this acan room to settle in.
