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 under gentler light and acclimate gradually, avoiding sudden increases that can stress this coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement is preferable to direct or aggressive flow around its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Allow time to adjust after introduction before moving it into brighter light or stronger movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from neighboring corals. Maintain spacing to reduce contact and potential stinging interactions as it settles into its location.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize consistent conditions and observe its response.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes slowly. Watch polyp response after adjusting lighting, flow, or placement, and avoid sudden increases in either light intensity or water movement. Moderate care is best supported by steady routine observation.

Choose a settled location and provide space for neighboring corals.
