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. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter areas, and avoid sudden increases that can stress its fleshy polyps.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep debris from settling without blasting the coral with direct or aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Start in a lower-light position and adjust gradually only after it is settled.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Keep it from contacting neighboring corals, as close placement can lead to stinging and irritation between specimens.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered when polyps are receptive. Avoid overfeeding and remove excess food if it remains.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after changes to lighting, flow, or placement. Avoid abrupt adjustments, keep its tissue clear of accumulating debris, and give it time to respond before making further changes.

Provide steady conditions, gentle flow, and enough space for long-term placement.
