Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and increase only gradually, watching for changes in polyp appearance as the coral acclimates.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear of settled debris without blasting its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Acclimate gradually when moving it into brighter light or stronger water movement.

Temperament

Allow space between this semi-aggressive coral and its neighbors. Keep it clear of nearby corals to reduce contact and potential stinging issues as polyps expand.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods may be offered. Target feeding can be done gently without exposing the polyps to strong flow.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after placement or adjustments. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make changes gradually to support consistent polyp extension.

Give it gentle flow, measured light, and room from neighboring corals.
