Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Allow space from neighboring corals
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure during acclimation, then observe tissue response before making gradual placement adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without directing aggressive flow across its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually and choose a stable position where it can receive indirect circulation.

Temperament

Leave conservative space between this coral and neighboring corals. Exact aggression can vary by coral group, so avoid close contact and monitor nearby placement.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional appropriately sized coral food may be offered, while stable reef conditions remain the foundation of care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the coral regularly for its response to lighting, flow, and nearby corals. Avoid sudden changes, keep direct aggressive flow off fleshy tissue, and adjust placement gradually when needed.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and room from nearby corals.
