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: Moderate, varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas with growth room
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can overgrow neighbors
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Introduce it gradually to its final intensity and watch for a steady, comfortable response after placement.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow. Alternating movement helps keep the coral clear of settled debris without concentrating excessive force on one area.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas on a stable surface. Leave open rockwork around the frag so its encrusting growth has room to expand.

Temperament

Give it spacing from neighboring corals. It is generally peaceful, but its encrusting growth can gradually overgrow nearby corals when surfaces are close together.

Feeding

Rely primarily on lighting for support, with fine coral foods offered optionally as part of regular reef feeding.

General Care

Maintain consistent reef conditions and secure the frag to a stable mounting surface. Allow time for the coral to establish new growth, and observe its response after changes to lighting, flow, or placement.

Plan its placement early to preserve space for future encrusting growth.
