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: 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 conservatively during acclimation, then observe tissue response before making gradual placement or lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow that keeps debris from settling without blasting fleshy tissue. Avoid direct aggressive flow across the coral.

Placement

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

Temperament

Leave conservative space between this coral and neighboring corals. Exact aggression can vary by coral group, so spacing helps prevent contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional appropriately sized coral food may be offered, while avoiding excess food that could affect water quality.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the coral regularly for changes in tissue appearance or response to flow and light. Make adjustments gradually, keep detritus from collecting around it, and avoid sudden environmental shifts.

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