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

Use low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure, then acclimate slowly to avoid sudden increases that can stress the coral.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without blasting or repeatedly disturbing its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Begin in lower light and adjust gradually after it settles.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Maintain spacing from neighboring corals to limit contact and potential stinging, especially as polyps expand.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods are optional. Target feed gently when desired, and avoid overfeeding or directing strong flow at the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after any adjustment. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and make placement changes gradually if the coral appears unsettled.

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