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 its response before making further lighting changes.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow. Alternating movement helps keep the surface clear without concentrating force on one area for extended periods.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas on a stable mounting surface. Leave open space around the edges so encrusting growth has room to develop.

Temperament

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

Feeding

Rely primarily on lighting for support, with fine coral foods offered optionally. Feed lightly and observe the coral and surrounding water quality.

General Care

Maintain consistent reef conditions and avoid frequent placement changes while it establishes new growth. Check that the mounting surface remains secure, keep surrounding space open, and observe the coral regularly for its response to light and flow.

Give it stable conditions and room to encrust at its own pace.
