Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity, especially after moving the coral or introducing it to a new system.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without directing a strong stream onto its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to settle after placement rather than repeatedly changing its location or light exposure.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral ample room from neighboring corals. Nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles can extend beyond the colony, so maintain spacing to reduce stinging risk.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be delivered gently without blasting the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes gradually. Observe tissue response, tentacle extension, and nearby corals after adjustments to lighting, flow, or placement, then avoid frequent repositioning once it is settled.

Provide space, indirect flow, and stable conditions for dependable long-term care.
