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: Moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Begin at lower intensity during acclimation, then make gradual adjustments while observing for a consistent response.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow and avoid strong direct flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep tissue clear without blasting the fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Let it acclimate after placement rather than repeatedly moving it or rapidly changing light intensity.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous space from neighboring corals. Nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles may extend, so keep other corals beyond their reach.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods when feeding tentacles are visible if desired. Supplemental feeding is optional rather than required.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Observe tissue, polyp behavior, and nearby corals after adjustments, especially during the first weeks of acclimation. Avoid frequent shifts in placement, lighting, or flow.

Plan spacing carefully and keep all care adjustments gradual.
