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 reduced intensity after introduction, then gradually acclimate the coral to its final light level rather than making abrupt changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy tissue, so avoid strong direct flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Set it securely, allow time to acclimate, and avoid repeatedly moving it as it adjusts to lighting and flow.

Temperament

Leave generous space around this aggressive coral. Favia-type brain corals can extend nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles, which may sting nearby corals after lights-out.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered when feeding tentacles are visible. Keep portions modest and avoid leaving excess food on the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes gradually. Observe tissue response, polyp extension, and nearby spacing over time; frequent shifts in placement, light intensity, or flow are less preferable than a consistent setup.

Allow room for nighttime tentacles when planning its final position.
