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. Begin with gentler exposure and increase gradually only if needed, avoiding sudden light changes during acclimation.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Acclimate gradually to its final light and flow position.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Keep neighboring corals at a sensible distance to reduce contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Avoid overfeeding and observe how the coral responds.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make adjustments gradually. Watch polyp condition and response after placement, especially when changing lighting or water movement. Avoid sudden increases in either, and provide space from neighboring corals.

Consistent placement, gentle flow, and stable conditions support long-term care.
