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 acclimate gradually, since sudden increases in light can stress this coral.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in a lower to middle reef area with moderate placement in mind. Allow time to adjust after introduction before changing its position or lighting.

Temperament

Give it space from nearby corals because it is semi-aggressive. Avoid crowding and watch neighboring corals for contact or signs of stinging.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so keep portions modest and observe the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, monitor polyp condition, and adjust placement only when needed after acclimation.

A steady setup and patient acclimation support long-term care.
