Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Allow space from neighboring corals
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually while watching the coral’s response.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect flow. Water movement should keep debris from settling without blasting the fleshy tissue with direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually and choose a stable location where lighting and indirect flow remain consistent.

Temperament

Leave conservative space around it. Exact aggression can vary within coral groups, so avoid placing neighboring corals close enough to touch or compete.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional, appropriately sized coral food may be offered, with care to avoid overfeeding the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the coral after introduction or any placement change. Avoid sudden shifts in lighting or flow, keep direct aggressive current off fleshy tissue, and give it room from nearby corals.

Allow time for acclimation before making further placement adjustments.
