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 with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually to changes in intensity rather than moving it repeatedly.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect flow that keeps debris from settling without blasting the tissue. Avoid strong direct flow, which can cause the coral to stay withdrawn.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with a stable surface and adequate open space. Allow time to settle after placement before making further adjustments.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing from nearby corals. Nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles can reach beyond its visible edge and may sting close neighbors.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered when feeding tentacles are visible. Avoid overfeeding and remove any excess food.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe tissue response as it acclimates. Make lighting, flow, or placement changes gradually, and avoid frequent moves. Keep its surface clear of accumulating debris while respecting its need for indirect water movement.

Allow space and steady conditions for dependable long-term care.
