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. Introduce it carefully and avoid sudden light increases, allowing the coral time to adjust before moving it to brighter conditions.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral comfortable without exposing its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement, then acclimate gradually if changing light or water movement.

Temperament

Allow spacing from neighboring corals because it is semi-aggressive. Give its fleshy polyps room and avoid placing it where nearby corals can make contact.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and care should focus first on appropriate placement, indirect flow, and stable conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after any change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually. Consistent placement, gentle flow, and adequate spacing help support long-term care.

Acclimate gradually, leave room around it, and keep conditions consistent.
