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. Begin under gentler light, then make gradual adjustments while watching polyp extension and overall response.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Acclimate gradually to its final lighting and water movement.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Keep neighboring corals beyond potential contact range, as close placement can lead to stinging or irritation.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral after any change to lighting, flow, or placement. Avoid sudden increases in light or water movement, and make adjustments gradually if polyps remain withdrawn or appear irritated.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and enough space from nearby corals.
