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 areas, to avoid sudden light increases.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy polyps with direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Allow time to adjust after introduction before changing its position or lighting.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral adequate space from nearby corals. Leave room between specimens to reduce contact and potential stinging issues as its polyps expand.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral after placement or any aquarium adjustment. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and make changes gradually so the specimen can settle into its location.

Provide gentle conditions, spacing, and steady care for best day-to-day maintenance.
