Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate to Advanced

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to its final intensity and monitor polyp extension as it settles into the aquarium.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving without direct blasting. Adjust circulation if extension remains limited or the tissue appears consistently stressed.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with open space for full polyp extension. Introduce it gradually and avoid crowding it against rockwork or nearby corals.

Temperament

Allow extra spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral needs room for extension and should not be positioned where it can contact or be contacted by nearby specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine particulate foods to support this coral. Target feeding can be helpful, but avoid excessive feeding that compromises overall aquarium conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid stripping the aquarium of all measurable nutrients. Observe extension, color, and response to flow after placement, making gradual adjustments rather than frequent major changes. Moderate to advanced care is recommended.

Give it stable conditions, open space, and time to settle.
