Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate to Advanced

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to the aquarium’s lighting and watch polyp extension and overall response before making placement changes.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving naturally. Avoid direct blasting flow, which can prevent comfortable extension and irritate the coral.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room for full polyp extension. Allow time to acclimate after placement rather than moving it frequently.

Temperament

Give it space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive coral should not be crowded, and adequate separation helps reduce contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine particulate foods to support this coral. Feeding can be adjusted based on its response and the aquarium’s overall nutrient availability.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid stripping the aquarium of all measurable nutrients. Moderate to advanced care is appropriate, with regular observation of polyp extension, placement, flow response, and interactions with nearby corals.

Provide steady conditions and space for its polyps to extend comfortably.
