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. Begin with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually, since sudden increases in light can stress this coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy polyps with direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement and room around the specimen. Acclimate slowly when moving it into brighter light or stronger circulation.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral space from nearby corals. Maintain separation to reduce the chance of stinging and avoid placing it where neighboring corals can crowd its polyps.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered when appropriate, while avoiding excess food that could compromise water quality.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after any adjustment. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and make placement changes gradually. Consistent care and adequate spacing support a settled, healthy presentation.

Allow time for gradual acclimation before making further placement adjustments.
