Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower reef areas with room to grow
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive to aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with lower exposure and acclimate slowly if moving it toward brighter areas to avoid sudden light stress.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without directing a harsh stream at its fleshy surface.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas with room to grow. Allow time to acclimate after introduction, especially when adjusting to brighter lighting.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive to aggressive coral clear space from neighboring corals. Plan placement carefully, as close contact can create problems for nearby specimens.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional fine meaty foods may be offered. Keep portions modest and observe the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt nutrient changes. Monitor its response after placement, lighting adjustments, or feeding, and make changes gradually rather than all at once.

Provide steady conditions, indirect flow, and room from nearby corals.
