Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate to Advanced

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to the intended light level, then observe polyp extension and overall response before making further adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate, varied water flow rather than a direct blast. Gentle changing movement helps keep the polyps moving while allowing them room for full extension.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with open space around the coral, allow it to acclimate, and choose a location where its extended polyps are not crowded.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral space from nearby corals. Its polyps need room to extend, and appropriate spacing helps limit contact and potential stinging interactions with neighbors.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine particulate foods to support this coral. Target feeding can be done gently, with flow managed so food is available to the extended polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid stripping the aquarium of all measurable nutrients. This is a Moderate to Advanced care coral, so watch its extension and response closely after changes to lighting, flow, placement, or maintenance routines.

Consistent placement, varied flow, and patient observation support long-term care.
