Its LPS care profile favors measured placement, gentle adjustment, and consistent conditions rather than abrupt changes.
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 lower exposure, then acclimate gradually to avoid sudden increases that can stress the coral.
Flow
Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the fleshy polyps clear without exposing them to direct, aggressive current.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Allow time to settle after introduction, especially when adjusting light or water movement.
Temperament
Give this semi-aggressive coral room from nearby corals. Leave spacing for its fleshy polyps and potential stinging contact, particularly around other LPS.
Feeding
Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Keep feedings modest and observe how the coral responds.
General Care
Maintain stable conditions and make changes gradually. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and watch polyp extension and overall appearance as practical signs that placement and flow remain suitable.
Allow space, stable conditions, and gradual acclimation for dependable care.
