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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter areas, and avoid sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep the fleshy polyps clear without exposing them to direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start in a moderate location and allow time to adjust before making changes to lighting or flow.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from nearby corals. Maintain spacing to reduce contact and possible stinging, particularly as surrounding colonies expand.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after any adjustment. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and make placement changes gradually if the coral appears stressed or remains withdrawn.

Allow consistent conditions and adequate spacing for dependable long-term care.
