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 varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Peaceful but capable of spreading
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Begin with gentler exposure during acclimation, then observe polyp extension and response before making gradual placement or lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing circulation helps the polyps move naturally while avoiding harsh direct flow that can keep them withdrawn.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually and choose a location where its spreading growth can be monitored and managed over time.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread across nearby rockwork. Leave room around the colony and plan neighboring coral placement so expanding polyps remain easy to control.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Fine suspended foods may be accepted, but stable reef conditions and appropriate placement are the primary care priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually, especially during acclimation. Watch for consistent polyp extension, avoid abrupt shifts in light or flow, and redirect circulation if direct flow causes persistent retraction.

Give this spreading soft coral space and observe its response as it settles in.
