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, to avoid sudden light increases.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without exposing its fleshy polyps to harsh direct flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Start in a lower-light location and adjust slowly as it settles.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from neighboring corals. Leave spacing to reduce contact and potential stinging, particularly as surrounding corals expand.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered when practical, while avoiding overfeeding and keeping overall aquarium conditions stable.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral during acclimation. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually rather than relocating it repeatedly.

Allow space, stable conditions, and gradual acclimation for dependable long-term care.
