Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, varied flow
• Placement: Isolated rockwork where spreading can be managed
• Temperament: Peaceful but fast spreading
• Care Level: Beginner

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to its final light level and observe polyp extension as it settles into the aquarium.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep debris from collecting across the mat while allowing the polyps to move naturally.

Placement

Place it on isolated rockwork where spreading can be managed. Give the coral time to adjust after introduction before changing its position or conditions.

Temperament

Expect peaceful behavior, but plan for fast spreading. Isolated placement helps prevent the mat from moving onto nearby rockwork and crowding neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually not necessary, as this coral is generally supported by light and available nutrients in the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and monitor the mat for trapped debris or reduced polyp extension. Consistent, varied flow is important for keeping the surface clear and supporting a clean growing area.

Plan its placement early to keep future spreading easy to manage.
