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 overall appearance before making gradual adjustments.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Water movement should gently move the polyps without subjecting them to harsh direct flow.

Placement

Place this coral in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it has room to spread, and acclimate gradually to its final lighting and flow.

Temperament

This coral is generally peaceful, but it can spread across nearby rockwork. Leave room around the frag and monitor its spreading growth so it does not overtake neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional, though fine suspended foods may be accepted. Stable reef conditions and suitable lighting and flow remain the primary care considerations.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt changes during acclimation. Watch for consistent polyp extension, adjust placement gradually when needed, and keep harsh direct flow off the colony. Its beginner-to-moderate care profile rewards patient observation rather than frequent changes.

Give it room to spread and adjust conditions gradually.
