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 with a gentler position and acclimate gradually, avoiding sudden increases in intensity that can stress the coral.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should be enough to keep debris from settling without blasting the fleshy polyps directly.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to adjust after introduction, and make changes to light or flow gradually.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral adequate spacing from nearby corals. Leave room for its reach and avoid placing it where it can contact or sting neighbors.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral as it settles in. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, keep its area clear of accumulating debris, and adjust placement only when needed.

Stable care, indirect flow, and thoughtful spacing support long-term placement.
