Quick Care Summary
-
Lighting: Moderate lighting
-
Flow: Moderate, indirect and varied flow
-
Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
-
Temperament: Aggressive
-
Care Level: Moderate
Lighting
Provide moderate lighting and acclimate it gradually to the intended intensity. Watch polyp extension and overall response before making changes to its position or lighting.
Flow
Use moderate, indirect, varied flow, and avoid strong direct flow. Water movement should keep the tentacles moving without continuously blasting or forcing them to retract.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas in a secure position. Allow time for acclimation before moving it, using its response to lighting and flow as guidance.
Temperament
Give this aggressive coral generous spacing from neighboring corals. Its tentacles can sting nearby corals, so account for their extension and changing movement in the current.
Feeding
Occasional meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Use modest portions and observe the coral’s response during and after feeding.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions, especially salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Regularly observe tissue condition, polyp extension, flow response, and spacing from nearby corals. Adjust placement carefully only when its ongoing response indicates a need.
Stable conditions, indirect flow, and generous spacing support long-term care.
