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

Use low to moderate lighting. Start with gentle exposure and increase only gradually, avoiding sudden lighting changes while the coral acclimates.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without directing a harsh stream at its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually to its final position, and make changes to lighting or water movement slowly.

Temperament

Give it space from neighboring corals because it is semi-aggressive. Avoid close placement where contact or stinging could affect nearby specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so focus first on stable conditions and appropriate placement.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after any adjustment. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or flow, and allow time for it to settle after placement or changes in the reef.

A measured acclimation and adequate spacing support long-term placement.
