This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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 the coral into brighter areas, and avoid sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep debris from settling without subjecting its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement, then allow time to observe its response before making lighting or flow changes.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral space from nearby corals. Leave room for its feeding response and potential stinging reach, particularly around other fleshy LPS corals.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Target feed gently and avoid using flow strong enough to blow food away.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes slowly. Watch polyp response after placement, feeding, or maintenance, then adjust only as needed. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, which can stress this coral.

Allow time for acclimation before changing its position or care routine.
