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

Use low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure, then acclimate slowly to avoid sudden increases in light intensity.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep debris from settling without directing aggressive flow onto the fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from surrounding corals. Acclimate gradually when moving it into stronger light or water movement.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Keep neighboring corals at a respectful distance to reduce the risk of contact and stinging.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, while stable reef conditions remain the foundation of routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after any adjustment. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make changes gradually so the coral can acclimate without unnecessary stress.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and space from nearby corals.
