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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, and avoid sudden lighting increases.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps avoid stressing the fleshy polyps; do not place it in direct aggressive flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from surrounding corals. Introduce it gradually to its final position while monitoring its response.

Temperament

Allow room between this semi-aggressive coral and nearby specimens. Maintain spacing to reduce the risk of contact and stinging interactions with neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but maintain stable conditions as the foundation of routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the coral after changes to lighting, flow, or placement. Avoid sudden increases in water movement or light, and adjust gradually if the polyps appear stressed.

Give this acan stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate space.
