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: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually and avoid sudden increases in intensity, especially when moving it into a brighter position.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle water movement helps keep the fleshy polyps clear without exposing them to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in a lower to middle reef area with moderate room around it. Start in a suitable lower-light location and adjust gradually only after observation.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive LPS coral may sting nearby specimens. Avoid placing it where polyps can contact other corals as they expand.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods are optional. Target feed lightly when desired, while maintaining clean, stable reef conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and watch the coral's response after any change. Avoid abrupt increases in lighting or water movement, and give it time to adjust before making additional placement changes.

Give this Micromussa stable conditions, indirect flow, and appropriate spacing.
