This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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 and avoid sudden light increases, especially when introducing it to a brighter area of the reef.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without exposing its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive flow.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement, allow time for acclimation, and adjust only gradually if needed.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may sting nearby specimens, so avoid close placement and monitor its reach after introduction.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and uneaten food should be avoided to help maintain water quality.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral during acclimation. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make gradual adjustments based on polyp response and surrounding coral spacing.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and room from neighboring corals.
