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. Introduce it gradually and avoid sudden increases in intensity, which can stress its fleshy polyps.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without exposing it to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and acclimate slowly when adjusting its position or lighting exposure.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Provide spacing from neighboring corals to reduce contact and potential stinging issues as it settles into the reef.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and care should remain focused on stable conditions and appropriate placement.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after any changes. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually to support consistent polyp response.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate space from neighboring corals.
