Its care is moderate, with attention to stable conditions and gradual adjustment.

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, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, and avoid sudden increases in light intensity.

Flow

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

Placement

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

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral adequate spacing from neighboring corals. Leave room for its polyp extension and avoid placing sensitive corals within potential stinging range.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, but target feeding can be done carefully when polyps are receptive.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after any change. Make adjustments slowly, particularly with lighting and flow, rather than moving the coral repeatedly or increasing intensity abruptly.

Allow time for acclimation and keep nearby corals thoughtfully spaced.
