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. Start with a gentler light level and acclimate gradually, avoiding sudden increases that can stress the coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep debris from settling while avoiding the direct, aggressive flow that can irritate fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after introduction, and adjust placement gradually rather than making abrupt changes in light or water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from nearby corals. Maintain spacing to reduce the chance of contact and stinging, especially as surrounding corals expand.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when desired and avoid blasting food directly onto the tissue.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral as it settles in. Avoid sudden changes to lighting or flow, keep its tissue clear of debris, and make adjustments gradually if placement needs to be refined.

Provide gentle conditions, steady care, and adequate space from neighboring corals.
