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. Start with lower exposure during acclimation, then make gradual adjustments rather than sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep debris from settling while avoiding the direct, aggressive flow that can irritate fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Acclimate gradually to its location and avoid abrupt changes in lighting or water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral space from nearby corals. Leave room for its fleshy polyps and potential stinging reach, especially when placing other LPS corals nearby.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so focus first on stable conditions and observe polyp response.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after placement or maintenance changes. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and adjust its position gradually if its polyps appear irritated.

Allow space, keep conditions steady, and make changes gradually.
