Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Allow space from neighboring corals
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Begin with gentler exposure during acclimation, then observe its response before making gradual placement or lighting adjustments.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep debris from settling without directing aggressive flow across the coral’s fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually and choose a location where the coral can rest without crowding nearby corals.

Temperament

Allow conservative spacing from neighboring corals. Exact aggression varies by coral group, so leave room around the specimen and monitor nearby corals for contact or irritation.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Offer occasional appropriately sized coral food if desired, and avoid overfeeding or allowing food to collect on the tissue.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the coral regularly during acclimation. Avoid sudden changes in lighting, flow, or placement, and keep direct aggressive flow away from fleshy tissue. Adjust care gradually based on its response.

Give it stable conditions, indirect movement, and ample space to settle in.
