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: Moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start in lower light and acclimate gradually before increasing intensity, watching the coral’s response rather than making abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow that keeps debris from settling without blasting the tissue. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent comfortable polyp extension.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas on a stable surface. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and avoid repeatedly moving it between locations or light levels.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous space from neighboring corals. Nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles can reach nearby specimens, so leave room around the colony and monitor after lights out.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, but target feeding when tentacles are extended can be a practical approach.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes gradually. Observe tissue, polyp extension, and nearby coral spacing regularly, especially after adjusting lighting, flow, or placement. Consistency is preferable to frequent changes in intensity or location.

Allow a settled position and stable routine for best ongoing observation.
