Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas with growth room
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can overgrow neighbors
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Introduce it gradually to its final intensity and watch its response before making further placement changes.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow. Alternating movement helps keep the surface clear without concentrating excessive current on one area.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas on a stable mounting surface. Leave open space around it for encrusting growth and future expansion.

Temperament

Give it space from neighboring corals. It is generally peaceful, but its encrusting growth can overgrow nearby corals when placement is too close.

Feeding

Rely primarily on lighting, with fine coral foods offered optionally. Target feeding is not required for routine care.

General Care

Maintain consistent reef conditions and avoid frequent placement changes while new growth establishes. Secure the coral well, observe its surface for debris buildup, and adjust flow or placement gradually when needed.

Plan its location early so surrounding corals retain room as it grows.
