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 conditions, and avoid sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the fleshy polyps clear without subjecting them to direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start in a moderate position and adjust slowly only after observing how the coral responds.

Temperament

Allow spacing from nearby corals because this semi-aggressive LPS coral can affect close neighbors. Give it room rather than placing it tightly among other fleshy corals.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered but are optional. Feed gently so food can reach the polyps without strong flow carrying it away.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after any change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make placement adjustments gradually to limit stress.

Provide measured light, indirect flow, and adequate space for dependable care.
