Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Strong reef lighting
• Flow: Strong, random and turbulent flow
• Placement: Middle to upper reef areas after acclimation
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but space for growth
• Care Level: Advanced

Lighting

Provide strong reef lighting and acclimate gradually to the intended intensity. Observe its response during acclimation, especially when moving it into brighter areas of the aquarium.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow that reaches the branches from changing directions. Avoid low-flow or stagnant areas where detritus can settle around the coral.

Placement

Place it in the middle to upper reef after acclimation. Secure the specimen firmly and make placement changes gradually rather than exposing it to abrupt lighting or flow shifts.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but leave room for future growth and avoid crowding nearby corals. Thoughtful spacing also helps maintain circulation around its branches.

Feeding

Strong lighting provides primary support. Fine coral foods may be offered as an optional supplement, while keeping the aquarium's nutrient conditions stable.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, and monitor the coral after any equipment, flow, lighting, or maintenance changes. Advanced care is best supported by an established system with dependable consistency.

Best maintained in a stable reef with strong light and changing flow.
