Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, indirect and varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity and watch for healthy polyp expansion as it settles into the aquarium.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should gently move the polyps without blasting the coral with a strong direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with room for expansion, then allow time to adjust before making placement changes.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral generous space from neighboring corals. Expanded polyps can sting nearby specimens, so account for daytime expansion and keep potential contact zones clear.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food offered should be appropriate for the coral's polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid corrections. Observe polyp expansion and overall response after changes to lighting, flow, placement, or routine maintenance.

Allow consistent conditions and adequate spacing for long-term care.
