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. Acclimate gradually to brighter conditions, since sudden lighting increases can stress this coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps avoid blasting the fleshy polyps with direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin with moderate placement and allow time to adjust before making changes to light or water movement.

Temperament

Allow spacing from nearby corals. This semi-aggressive coral needs room to reduce the chance of contact and stinging interactions with neighbors.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Keep portions modest and observe the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. Watch polyp appearance after adjustments, especially when increasing lighting or flow, and avoid sudden shifts in either. Consistent placement and space from neighboring corals support routine care.

Keep conditions steady and give this coral room from nearby neighbors.
