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 intensity and observe polyp extension as it settles into the tank.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep debris from settling across the mat without keeping the polyps tightly closed.

Placement

Place it on isolated rockwork where spreading can be managed. Give the frag time to attach and adjust before making further placement changes.

Temperament

Expect a peaceful coral that can spread quickly. Keep it separated from neighboring corals and plan its location carefully so the mat does not overtake nearby rockwork.

Feeding

Feeding is usually unnecessary because light and available nutrients support this coral. Maintain appropriate nutrient availability rather than relying on direct feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and monitor the colony regularly as it establishes. Keep enough varied flow across the mat to prevent detritus buildup, and trim or manage spread when it approaches surrounding coral placement areas.

An isolated location helps keep its fast spread easy to manage.
