Quick Care Summary

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

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually when introducing it to stronger light, then observe its response before making further placement adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Gentle movement is preferred; avoid strong direct flow that can irritate or repeatedly whip the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin with a stable location and allow time to adjust before moving it or changing lighting and flow.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing. It has stinging potential, so keep neighboring corals well clear and account for polyp extension when planning its location.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be delivered carefully to avoid unnecessary disturbance.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Observe polyp extension and overall response after any adjustment to lighting, flow, placement, or routine maintenance.

Plan its spacing carefully and keep changes gradual for consistent care.
