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

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter areas, and watch for changes in polyp appearance after adjustments.

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 lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and allow time to settle before making changes to light or water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral adequate spacing from nearby corals. Leave room for its fleshy polyps and avoid close placement where stinging contact may occur.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target small portions gently and avoid creating excessive waste around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes gradually. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, observe polyp response after adjustments, and keep surrounding placement clear enough for the coral to remain undisturbed.

A steady setup and thoughtful spacing support long-term placement in the reef.
