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

Use low to moderate lighting. Start with a gentler position and acclimate gradually, avoiding sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle circulation should keep the coral clear without directing aggressive flow at its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in a lower to middle reef area. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and make changes to lighting or water movement gradually.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from nearby corals. Maintain spacing to reduce potential stinging and prevent neighboring corals from crowding its fleshy polyps.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently and avoid creating excessive flow during feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral as it settles in. Avoid abrupt changes in lighting or water movement, and adjust placement carefully if its response suggests it needs a gentler environment.

Provide steady care, indirect flow, and adequate space from neighboring corals.
