Lighting: Moderate lighting
-
Flow: Moderate, indirect and varied flow
-
Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
-
Temperament: Aggressive
-
Care Level: Moderate
Lighting
Provide moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to brighter conditions, then observe extension and overall response before making further lighting adjustments.
Flow
Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Aim for a gentle changing current that keeps the tentacles moving naturally, and avoid forceful water movement that causes retraction or leaves them pushed to one side.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas in a secure location. Allow an acclimation period after placement and make sure its tentacles have open space to extend.
Temperament
Provide generous spacing from nearby corals. This aggressive coral has stinging potential, so keep neighboring specimens well beyond the reach of its fully extended tentacles.
Feeding
Occasional meaty feeding is optional. Offer food carefully if desired, observe the coral's response, and keep overall reef conditions stable.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions, especially salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Monitor extension and appearance regularly, then adjust one condition at a time when a change is needed rather than altering several factors at once.
Give it stable conditions, open space, and gentle varied water movement.
