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 polyps.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should be gentle enough to avoid blasting the polyps while still keeping debris from settling.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually to its final location, particularly when moving from lower light or calmer water.

Temperament

Allow ample spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral can affect nearby specimens, so avoid crowding and monitor surrounding polyps.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods may be offered. Target feed gently and avoid overfeeding the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after any adjustment. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, keep the surrounding area clear of detritus, and make placement changes gradually when needed.

Give it room, stable conditions, and gentle acclimation for dependable reef placement.
