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. Acclimate gradually when moving it into brighter areas so it can adjust without abrupt changes.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear of settled debris while avoiding a constant one-direction blast.

Placement

Place it in middle reef areas with room to grow. Give the coral space to expand and accommodate its normal shedding cycles.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Leather corals are semi-aggressive through growth and chemical competition, so avoid crowding and monitor nearby specimens.

Feeding

Feeding is usually not necessary, as this coral is generally supported by light and dissolved nutrients in a maintained reef system.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and adequate water movement, then observe the coral through normal waxy shedding periods. Avoid frequent placement changes, provide growth room, and check that neighboring corals are not being crowded as it expands.

A practical soft coral choice when given stable conditions and open space.
