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. Start the coral under gentler light and acclimate gradually before moving it toward a moderately lit area if needed.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the fleshy polyps clear without exposing them to direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Allow time to acclimate before changing its position, lighting, or flow.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral ample spacing from nearby corals. Leave room between specimens to reduce contact and potential stinging, especially around other fleshy LPS corals.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be sized appropriately so it can be readily accepted.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after introducing the coral. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually. Check spacing regularly as the coral settles into its chosen lower-to-middle reef location.

Steady placement, indirect flow, and patient acclimation support long-term care.
