Quick Care Summary

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

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting and allow time for acclimation when introducing it to established reef lighting.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow to keep the colony moving without concentrating a harsh, constant stream on one area.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas, then adjust gradually only if needed after observing its response.

Temperament

Give this very aggressive coral substantial spacing. Galaxea can extend long sweeper tentacles that may sting nearby corals, especially after lights-out.

Feeding

Occasional target feeding is optional. Maintain consistent husbandry first, and feed only as part of a balanced reef routine.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony regularly after placement. Avoid crowding it as it grows, keep neighboring corals well clear, and make changes to light or flow gradually.

Plan its placement carefully to preserve safe space around the colony.
