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 intended intensity, then watch polyp extension and overall response before making further placement changes.
Flow
Use moderate, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving gently. Avoid direct blasting flow, which can limit extension and irritate the coral.
Placement
Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral room for full polyp extension and adjust placement slowly if its response indicates it needs a calmer or brighter position.
Temperament
Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral needs clearance to reduce contact and potential stinging as its polyps extend.
Feeding
Offer occasional fine particulate foods to support the coral. Feed gently during suitable flow conditions so food can reach the extended polyps.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid stripping the aquarium of all measurable nutrients. This is moderate-to-advanced care, so observe polyp extension, tissue condition, and response to lighting, flow, and feeding adjustments over time.
Give it stable conditions, gentle movement, and room to extend.
