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 reef areas with room to grow
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive to aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start under gentler light, then acclimate slowly if moving toward brighter areas to avoid sudden changes in exposure.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas with room to grow. Allow a gradual acclimation period after introduction, especially when adjusting to brighter lighting.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive to aggressive coral generous space from neighboring corals. Plan its location carefully and watch nearby specimens for contact as it settles in.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional fine meaty foods can be offered when appropriate, while maintaining consistent overall reef care.

General Care

Moderate care is best supported by stable reef conditions and close observation after placement. Avoid abrupt nutrient changes, acclimate carefully to lighting changes, and monitor the surrounding area to maintain adequate separation from other corals.

Plan its lower-reef placement and spacing before adding it to the aquarium.
