Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Allow space from neighboring corals
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Begin with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually, watching the coral’s response before moving it into brighter areas.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without directing aggressive flow across its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start in a secure location and allow time to acclimate before making placement adjustments.

Temperament

Leave conservative space between this coral and neighboring corals. Exact aggression can vary by coral group, so spacing helps reduce contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional appropriately sized coral food can be offered, while stable reef conditions remain the foundation of care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the coral regularly after introduction or any change in light, flow, or placement. Avoid sudden adjustments, keep flow indirect, and use its visible response to guide further acclimation.

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