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, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, to avoid sudden increases in light exposure.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep debris from settling while allowing the fleshy polyps to remain comfortable.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and adjust slowly after observing polyp response to light and water movement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral can sting nearby specimens, so avoid crowding and give its fleshy polyps room.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and target feeding should be gentle to avoid stressing the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and watch for changes in polyp extension or tissue appearance. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually when changing placement or flow.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and room from nearby corals.
