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. Start with a gentler introduction and acclimate gradually, watching polyp extension and overall response before moving it into brighter areas.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow that keeps 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 open room for polyp extension. Give it time to settle after introduction, then adjust positioning only if its response suggests it is needed.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral needs room for extension and should not be positioned where it can contact or be contacted by nearby corals.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine particulate foods to supplement its needs. Feed gently in a way that lets particles reach the extended polyps without creating excessive disturbance.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid stripping the aquarium of all measurable nutrients. Moderate-to-advanced care is appropriate; observe extension, placement response, and interactions with surrounding corals, making gradual adjustments rather than frequent abrupt changes.

Give it space, stable conditions, and patient observation as it settles in.
