This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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 gentler exposure and acclimate gradually, since sudden increases in light can stress this coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Enough movement should keep the coral clear of debris without blasting its fleshy polyps directly.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and avoid abrupt changes in lighting or water movement.

Temperament

Give it moderate spacing from nearby corals. This semi-aggressive acan may affect close neighbors, so leave room around the colony rather than placing it tightly against other corals.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and uneaten food should not be allowed to collect around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after any adjustment. Make changes gradually, especially when increasing light or flow, and keep the placement area free of accumulating debris.

Provide steady conditions, indirect movement, and appropriate spacing for long-term care.
