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 to avoid sudden increases in intensity, and observe the coral’s response before making further lighting adjustments.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and allow time to acclimate before moving it higher or into stronger water movement.

Temperament

Give it space from nearby corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral can sting neighbors, so avoid close contact and leave room as it settles into its placement.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be sized appropriately for the coral’s fleshy polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes slowly. Watch for changes in polyp behavior after adjustments to lighting, flow, or placement, and avoid sudden increases in either light intensity or water movement.

Provide stable, moderate conditions and adequate spacing for long-term care.
