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 intensity.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Enough movement should keep the coral clear of detritus without blasting its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the frag time to adjust, and make lighting or flow changes gradually.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive coral can sting nearby specimens, so moderate placement with a clear buffer is important.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after placement. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, keep detritus from settling around the coral, and adjust its position slowly if it appears stressed.

Provide gentle consistency and adequate spacing for dependable long-term care.
