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. Acclimate gradually and avoid sudden increases in intensity, which can stress this fleshy LPS coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without exposing its fleshy polyps to direct aggressive flow.

Placement

Place it in a lower to middle reef area with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Introduce it gradually to its final lighting and water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from neighboring corals. Maintain spacing to reduce contact and potential stinging issues as polyps expand.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered when appropriate, while stable reef conditions remain the main priority.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after placement or adjustments. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and make changes gradually so the coral can settle into its position.

Allow time for acclimation before making additional placement or flow changes.
