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. Start with lower exposure and acclimate gradually, avoiding sudden increases that can stress the coral.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to adjust after introduction, and make lighting or flow changes gradually.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral adequate spacing from nearby corals. Leave room for its feeding response and potential stinging contact rather than placing it tightly among neighbors.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered when polyps are receptive. Avoid overfeeding and keep food portions modest.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after any adjustment. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make changes slowly so the coral can acclimate. Consistent placement and clear surrounding space support routine care.

Provide gentle conditions, stable care, and room from neighboring corals.
