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

Use low to moderate lighting. Introduce it gradually to its final intensity and watch its response after placement rather than making abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Provide moderate, varied flow. Alternating water movement helps keep the coral clear while avoiding a single constant stream focused directly on its growing surface.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef on a stable mounting surface. Leave open rockwork around it so its encrusting growth has room to expand.

Temperament

Keep space around neighboring corals. It is generally peaceful, but its encrusting growth can overgrow nearby corals when placement does not allow for expansion.

Feeding

Rely primarily on lighting for support. Fine coral foods are optional and can be offered carefully without overfeeding the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain consistent reef conditions and avoid frequent placement changes while the coral establishes new growth. Check that its mounting surface remains secure, observe surrounding corals for encroachment, and adjust spacing as the encrusting area develops.

Plan its placement early so future encrusting growth remains manageable.
