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 coral clear without subjecting its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start in a moderate location and allow time to adjust before making placement or lighting changes.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from nearby corals. Leave spacing around the specimen to reduce contact and potential stinging issues as it settles.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize consistent conditions and observe how the coral responds.

General Care

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

Provide gentle conditions, adequate spacing, and patient acclimation for best ongoing care.
