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. Acclimate gradually to prevent sudden light increases, and adjust placement based on how the coral responds.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing. Start in gentler conditions and move only gradually if changes in light or flow are needed.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Maintain spacing from neighboring corals to reduce the risk of contact and potential stinging interactions.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so focus first on stable conditions and observe its response.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement. Observe tissue condition and polyp response after adjustments, making changes slowly rather than altering several conditions at once.

Give this acan steady conditions, gentle flow, and room from nearby corals.
