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. Start in gentler light and acclimate gradually, especially when introducing it to a brighter reef system.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without blasting or repeatedly pushing its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to settle after placement, and avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral adequate spacing from neighboring corals. Leave room for its polyps and avoid placing sensitive neighbors within potential stinging range.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize stable conditions and observe the coral's response.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. Watch polyp behavior after adjustments to lighting, flow, or placement, then allow time to adapt before making further changes. Moderate care is best supported by a steady routine.

Provide gentle conditions, sensible spacing, and time for acclimation.
