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. Start with gentle exposure and acclimate slowly, especially when moving the coral into brighter conditions.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should be gentle enough to avoid blasting the fleshy polyps while still keeping the coral clear of settled debris.

Placement

Place it in a lower to middle reef area with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Allow time to acclimate before making changes to its position, lighting, or flow.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from neighbors. Leave space between it and nearby corals to reduce contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when desired and avoid overwhelming the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after placement. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually if the coral appears stressed or remains tightly closed.

A steady setup and patient acclimation support long-term success with this coral.
