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

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to avoid sudden light increases, especially when moving it into a brighter reef area.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, indirect movement helps keep debris from settling without subjecting the fleshy polyps to aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Start in a lower-light position and adjust gradually as it settles in.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from neighboring corals. Leave space between colonies to reduce the chance of contact and irritation from nearby stinging corals.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Keep portions modest and observe polyp response during feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes slowly. Watch polyp appearance and response after adjustments to lighting, flow, or placement, and avoid sudden increases in either light intensity or water movement.

Steady placement, gentle flow, and patient acclimation support long-term care.
