Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate to Advanced

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity and watch polyp extension and overall response before making placement changes.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the polyps moving, while direct blasting flow can prevent comfortable extension.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with open space around it. Start with a stable location and allow time to acclimate before moving it.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral space from nearby corals. Leave room for full polyp extension and avoid positioning it where contact with neighbors is likely.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine particulate foods to support this coral. Target feeding can be useful when done gently without overwhelming the colony.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid stripping the aquarium of all measurable nutrients. This moderate-to-advanced coral benefits from regular observation, especially after changes to lighting, flow, feeding, or placement.

Observe extension regularly and adjust only when its response indicates a need.
