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 in lower light and acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into a brighter reef system.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle water movement helps keep the fleshy polyps clear without exposing them to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Allow time to adjust before changing its position or increasing light.

Temperament

Treat it as semi-aggressive and leave room around the colony. Space neighboring corals carefully to reduce the chance of contact or stinging issues.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding can be done gently when polyps are receptive.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after any change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually so the coral can settle into its placement.

Give it gentle flow, measured light, and space from nearby corals.
