This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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, as sudden lighting changes can stress fleshy Micromussa tissue.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting or sharply folding its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement and room around it. Acclimate gradually to its final light and flow conditions.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral spacing from nearby corals. Leave room for its fleshy polyps and avoid placing delicate neighbors within potential stinging range.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive, without overfeeding the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after any change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and adjust placement slowly if the polyps remain withdrawn or show signs of irritation.

Steady conditions, indirect flow, and careful spacing support long-term placement.
