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, to avoid sudden light increases.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without subjecting its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Start lower during acclimation, then adjust only gradually if needed.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral can sting nearby specimens, so avoid close contact and give it room as it settles.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered when appropriate, while avoiding excess food accumulation around the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral after any adjustment. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and make placement changes gradually rather than repeatedly moving the specimen.

Give it steady conditions, indirect flow, and room from nearby corals.
