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 to any brighter area, as sudden lighting increases can stress fleshy acan polyps.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting or repeatedly folding its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Allow time to acclimate before moving it into brighter light or stronger water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from nearby corals. Leave spacing around its polyps to reduce contact and potential stinging issues with neighboring specimens.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods may be offered. Keep portions modest and observe how the coral responds.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and watch polyp behavior during acclimation. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make gradual adjustments when changing placement or overall reef conditions.

Provide gentle conditions, adequate spacing, and patient acclimation for dependable care.
