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 as it settles into its placement.
Flow
Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy polyps with direct, aggressive water movement.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and make changes gradually while the coral adjusts to its new aquarium conditions.
Temperament
Allow spacing from nearby corals because this semi-aggressive LPS can sting close neighbors. Give it room rather than positioning it where surrounding corals can make contact.
Feeding
Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Keep portions modest and observe how the coral responds.
General Care
Maintain stable aquarium conditions and avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement. Monitor polyp condition after placement, feeding, or adjustments, and make changes slowly rather than all at once.
Give this acan steady conditions, indirect flow, and room from neighboring corals.
