Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, varied flow
• Placement: Middle reef areas with growth room
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive through growth and chemical competition
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting. Introduce it gradually to its intended intensity and watch its response as it settles into the aquarium.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep the coral gently moving while supporting normal surface shedding without blasting it directly.

Placement

Place it in a middle reef area with open room around it. Allow space for future growth and avoid crowding that can interfere with normal shedding.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive soft coral space from neighboring corals. As it grows, chemical competition can affect nearby specimens, so plan placement with separation and water movement in mind.

Feeding

Feeding is not usually necessary. This coral is generally supported by light and dissolved nutrients available in a stable reef aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and adequate water movement, then allow time for normal waxy shedding cycles. Observe the coral during adjustment periods rather than moving it repeatedly, and keep surrounding corals positioned with growth and chemical competition in mind.

Provide stable care, open space, and patience during normal shedding periods.
