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 adjust placement gradually rather than making abrupt changes.

Flow

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 Gentle, changing movement helps the polyps move naturally while avoiding harsh direct flow that can keep them withdrawn.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate in its initial position, and make any lighting or flow adjustments slowly.

Temperament

This coral is generally peaceful, but it can spread over nearby surfaces. Give it room to expand and plan its placement so spreading growth does not crowd neighboring corals.

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 watch for consistent polyp extension after introduction. Avoid abrupt changes to lighting, flow, or placement, and keep direct forceful flow off the colony. Check surrounding space regularly as the coral spreads.

A thoughtful placement plan helps keep its spreading growth easy to manage.
