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: Moderate, varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas with growth room
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can overgrow neighbors
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity and watch its response before moving it higher in the reef.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep the surface clear without concentrating a constant, forceful stream on one area.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas on a stable mounting surface. Leave open space around the edges so encrusting growth has room to spread.

Temperament

Give it space from nearby corals. It is generally peaceful, but its encrusting growth can overgrow neighboring corals if placement is too tight.

Feeding

Rely primarily on lighting for support. Fine coral foods may be offered optionally as part of a regular reef-feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain consistent reef conditions and avoid frequent changes while the coral settles in. Secure the frag firmly, monitor new growth along its edges, and adjust placement only after observing its response over time.

Allow room to grow, and monitor nearby corals as it encrusts.
