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 chosen intensity and watch its response before making further changes to placement or lighting.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow to keep the surface clear without concentrating a harsh stream on one area. Adjust circulation if debris settles on the coral.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas on a stable mounting surface. Leave open room around the edges for encrusting growth as it establishes.

Temperament

Give it space from neighboring corals. It is generally peaceful, but its encrusting growth can gradually overgrow nearby corals when placed too closely.

Feeding

Rely primarily on lighting for support, with fine coral foods offered optionally. Feed lightly and observe the system’s response rather than making feeding a requirement.

General Care

Maintain consistent reef conditions and avoid frequent changes while it establishes new growth. Secure the frag on a stable surface, monitor for detritus accumulation, and adjust placement gradually if its response suggests it needs a change.

Allow room for growth and keep its conditions stable as it settles in.
