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. Start with gentler exposure, then acclimate gradually to avoid sudden increases in light intensity.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give it a stable spot and make lighting or flow adjustments slowly after introduction.

Temperament

Allow space from nearby corals because this is semi-aggressive. Moderate spacing helps reduce contact and potential stinging issues as surrounding corals expand.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered but are not required. Feed gently and avoid using strong flow that carries food away immediately.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response as the coral settles in. Avoid abrupt changes in lighting or water movement, and adjust placement gradually if it appears stressed or receives too much current.

Provide steady care, indirect flow, and room from neighboring corals.
