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. Start with a gentler position and acclimate gradually, especially when moving it under brighter reef lighting.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should be gentle enough to avoid blasting the fleshy polyps while still keeping the area lightly circulated.

Placement

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

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from nearby corals. Leave space around the specimen to reduce the chance of contact and stinging issues as it settles into its placement.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Keep portions small and observe how the coral responds.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. Watch polyp response after placement, lighting adjustments, or changes in flow, then adjust slowly rather than making abrupt corrections. Consistent placement and adequate space help support long-term care.

Acclimate patiently, maintain stability, and give this acan room to settle.
