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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to avoid sudden light increases, and observe the coral’s response before making further adjustments to its position.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps avoid blasting the fleshy polyps with direct or aggressive water flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and make changes gradually, especially when moving the coral into brighter light or stronger water movement.

Temperament

Allow ample spacing from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive LPS coral can cause problems when placed too close. Avoid crowding it against other fleshy corals.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so focus first on stable conditions and observe how the coral responds.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement. Check the coral regularly for its response to placement, flow, and nearby corals, then make changes slowly rather than all at once.

Give this acan room, gentle flow, and time to settle into placement.
