Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Begin with reduced exposure during acclimation, then make any lighting changes gradually to avoid sudden increases.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep the coral clear without subjecting its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate at moderate placement before moving it, especially when adjusting light or water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from nearby corals. Leave spacing around the colony to reduce the risk of contact and potential stinging interactions.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the coral after any system adjustment. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make changes gradually so the coral can settle into its placement.

Provide gentle conditions, adequate spacing, and patience during acclimation.
