This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity, especially when moving it into brighter areas, and avoid sudden increases in light exposure.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle water movement should reach the coral without directing a harsh stream at its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to adjust after placement, and make changes to lighting or water movement gradually.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may sting nearby corals, so moderate placement and room around the specimen help prevent contact.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be delivered gently without exposing the coral to forceful flow.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response as the coral settles in. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and adjust its position gradually if its current placement is not suitable.

Provide stable care, indirect flow, and adequate spacing from neighboring corals.
