Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Allow space from neighboring corals
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start conservatively during acclimation, then observe tissue response before making gradual placement or lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow that keeps water moving without blasting the coral. Avoid direct aggressive flow across its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after introduction, and adjust location gradually if its response suggests a change is needed.

Temperament

Leave conservative space between this coral and neighboring corals. Exact aggression can vary by coral group, so avoid close contact and monitor surrounding placement.

Feeding

Offer occasional appropriately sized coral food if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food offered should be suitable for the coral’s size.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the coral regularly for its response to lighting, flow, and placement. Make changes gradually rather than all at once, especially after adding it to the aquarium.

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