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

Use low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure, then acclimate slowly to prevent stress from sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep debris from settling while avoiding forceful flow that can irritate fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Acclimate gradually when moving it into brighter light or stronger water movement.

Temperament

Allow space around this semi-aggressive coral. Keep neighboring corals beyond its reach, as contact and nighttime feeding behavior can create stinging risk.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after any change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make placement adjustments gradually if the coral appears irritated or remains closed.

Give it steady conditions, gentle flow, and room from neighboring corals.
