Its care needs center on measured light, gentle indirect movement, and stable conditions.

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

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter areas, and avoid sudden increases that may stress its fleshy polyps.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep debris from settling without exposing the coral to direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Start lower during acclimation, then observe its response before making gradual adjustments.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive acan may sting nearby specimens. Keep adequate separation and avoid placing it where surrounding corals can crowd its fleshy polyps.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered when practical, while avoiding excessive feeding or allowing food to collect around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes slowly. Watch for how the coral responds to light, flow, and nearby corals, then adjust placement carefully rather than making abrupt changes to lighting or water movement.

Give it room, indirect flow, and time to settle into placement.
