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: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting, then acclimate gradually to avoid sudden increases. Lower light is a sensible starting point when introducing this coral to an established reef.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow that keeps debris from settling without blasting the fleshy polyps. Avoid direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Begin in a gentler location and adjust slowly only after observing its response.

Temperament

Allow ample spacing from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive LPS coral can create conflict at close range. Keep it clear of corals that may sting or crowd its fleshy polyps.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize appropriate lighting, indirect flow, and stable aquarium conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral after any aquarium change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually. Moderate care is best supported by consistent placement, clean indirect flow, and adequate spacing.

Give this acan time to settle before making further placement adjustments.
