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

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

Flow

Provide moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep the surface clear without concentrating a harsh stream on one area.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas on a secure mounting surface. Leave open space around it for encrusting growth as it establishes.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. It is generally peaceful, but its encrusting growth can gradually overgrow nearby corals if placement is too tight.

Feeding

Light provides primary support. Fine coral foods can be offered optionally as part of a regular reef-feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain consistent reef conditions and a stable mounting surface while new growth establishes. Observe the coral after placement, lighting adjustments, and flow changes, then make gradual corrections rather than frequent major changes.

Give this encrusting coral stable conditions and room to spread.
