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 in gentler light and acclimate gradually, avoiding sudden increases that may stress the coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep debris from settling without blasting the fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Acclimate slowly when changing its location, lighting, or water movement.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Keep adequate spacing from neighboring corals to reduce the chance of contact and stinging issues.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered but are not required. Feed carefully and observe how the coral responds.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. Watch polyp response after placement or maintenance, and avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement. Consistent observation helps identify when placement, flow, or spacing needs adjustment.

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