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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with a gentler exposure during acclimation, then observe the coral’s response before making gradual placement or lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the area refreshed without directing aggressive flow across fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually and choose a stable location where lighting and indirect flow remain consistent.

Temperament

Leave conservative space around it. Exact aggression can vary by coral group, so avoid close placement with neighboring corals and monitor surrounding tissue for contact.

Feeding

Offer appropriately sized coral food occasionally if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be delivered carefully without overwhelming the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the coral regularly after introduction or relocation. Avoid rapid changes, keep aggressive flow off fleshy tissue, and adjust placement gradually if its response suggests it needs less exposure or movement.

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