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 with gentler exposure after introduction, then observe tissue response before making gradual placement or lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow that moves water around the coral without blasting it. Avoid direct aggressive flow across fleshy tissue, which can cause stress.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate it gradually to aquarium lighting and flow, choosing a secure location where its tissue will not be exposed to direct current.

Temperament

Allow conservative space from neighboring corals. Exact aggression can vary by coral group, so avoid close contact and leave room for the specimen to remain clear of nearby coral tissue.

Feeding

Offer occasional appropriately sized coral food if desired. Feeding is optional; keep portions modest and remove excess food if it accumulates.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for changes in tissue expansion or response after adjustments. Make changes gradually, keep direct flow off the fleshy areas, and give the coral time to settle into its selected location.

Provide stable conditions, indirect movement, and room from neighboring corals.
