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

Use low to moderate lighting. Introduce it gradually to its final intensity and watch for its response rather than making abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps avoid harsh direct flow while keeping the colony from receiving a constant blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually, secure the frag where its spreading growth can be managed, and allow room around its intended footprint.

Temperament

Keep it with peaceful neighbors, but plan for spreading growth. Although it is not noted for aggression, its expansion can occupy nearby rockwork and compete for available space.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Fine suspended foods may be accepted, but stable reef conditions remain the main focus for routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually, especially during acclimation. Avoid sudden shifts in light, flow, or placement, and observe the coral regularly so adjustments can be made before stress becomes prolonged.

Plan its placement early to keep spreading growth easy to manage.
