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 lighting level and watch for consistent polyp extension as it settles in.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep debris from collecting across the mat without creating a constant harsh blast.

Placement

Place it on isolated rockwork where spreading can be managed. Keeping it separate from the main aquascape helps contain its expanding mat over time.

Temperament

It is peaceful toward neighboring corals, but it spreads quickly. Leave room around the colony and use separation to prevent it from overtaking nearby rockwork.

Feeding

Feeding is usually unnecessary because it is supported by light and available nutrients. Maintain a suitable reef environment rather than relying on target feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral as it acclimates. Ensure enough varied flow reaches the mat to prevent debris buildup, and periodically check its edges so spreading remains within the area you intended.

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