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. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, and avoid sudden lighting increases.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep debris from settling without blasting the fleshy polyps with direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in a lower to middle reef area with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Allow time to settle before making major changes to light or water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from neighbors. Maintain spacing to reduce the chance of contact with nearby corals as its fleshy polyps expand.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Keep feedings modest and observe how the coral responds.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make adjustments gradually. Watch polyp expansion and overall response after changes, particularly when altering placement, lighting, or flow. Avoid sudden increases in either light intensity or water movement.

Provide stable, gentle conditions and allow this coral time to acclimate.
