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. Begin with gentler exposure and increase only gradually, watching for how the coral responds to avoid sudden light changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep debris from settling without blasting the fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually to its position, and make changes slowly rather than moving it abruptly into brighter light or stronger flow.

Temperament

Allow space from nearby corals because this is a semi-aggressive LPS coral. Leave room around the specimen and avoid placing it where neighboring corals can regularly contact its polyps.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so focus first on stable conditions and observe polyp response.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make adjustments gradually. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, keep its placement consistent during acclimation, and monitor the fleshy polyps for signs that flow or light should be reduced.

Give this acan steady care, indirect flow, and appropriate spacing.
