Lighting: Moderate lighting
-
Flow: Moderate, indirect and varied flow
-
Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
-
Temperament: Aggressive
-
Care Level: Moderate
Lighting
Provide moderate lighting and acclimate gradually to the intended intensity. Observe polyp response as it settles, adjusting placement only if needed.
Flow
Use moderate, indirect, varied flow, and avoid strong direct flow. Water movement should gently move the polyps without blasting or pinning them.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow room around the specimen and give it time to adjust before making additional placement changes.
Temperament
Provide generous spacing from nearby corals because this is an aggressive coral with stinging potential. Keep neighbors beyond the reach of extended polyps.
Feeding
Feeding is optional, though occasional meaty foods may be offered. Keep feedings measured and observe the coral's response.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions, especially salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Monitor polyp extension and overall appearance during acclimation, while keeping lighting and flow consistent.
Steady conditions, indirect flow, and ample spacing support long-term placement.
