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. Start with gentler exposure during acclimation, then observe polyp extension and response before adjusting placement or intensity.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing current helps keep the polyps moving while avoiding harsh direct flow that can limit extension.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually to its final position and secure the specimen where its spreading growth can be managed.

Temperament

Expect a generally peaceful coral that can spread over nearby surfaces. Leave room around it and monitor its expansion so it does not crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Fine suspended foods may be accepted, but stable reef conditions and appropriate light and flow remain the primary routine care needs.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for consistent polyp extension, avoid abrupt shifts in lighting or flow, and adjust placement if the coral shows poor response to direct current.

Give it space to spread and observe its response after any adjustment.
