-
Flow: Low to moderate varied flow
-
Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
-
Temperament: Peaceful but capable of spreading
-
Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Use low to moderate lighting. Begin in gentler light during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually while watching polyp extension and overall response.
Flow
Provide low to moderate varied flow. Indirect, changing current helps the polyps move naturally without exposing them to harsh direct flow.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually and choose a location with room to accommodate its spreading growth over time.
Temperament
This coral is generally peaceful, but it can spread. Leave space from neighboring corals and monitor its growth so it does not move into areas reserved for other specimens.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional, though fine suspended foods may be accepted. Maintain suitable reef conditions rather than relying on feeding as a primary care requirement.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt changes during acclimation. Observe polyp extension, placement response, and spreading growth regularly, adjusting light or flow gradually if the coral appears unsettled.
Give it stable conditions and room to spread across its chosen area.
