Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate to Advanced

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to its final intensity and watch polyp extension as it adjusts, avoiding abrupt changes in exposure.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep the polyps moving naturally without direct blasting flow that prevents full extension.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room for full polyp extension. Introduce it gradually and allow time to settle before making placement changes.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral space from neighboring corals. Leave room around its extended polyps to reduce contact and potential stinging interactions.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine particulate foods to support this coral. Target feeding can be useful when flow is gentle enough for food to reach the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid stripping the aquarium of all measurable nutrients. This moderate-to-advanced-care coral benefits from regular observation; changes in polyp extension can help signal whether lighting, flow, or placement needs adjustment.

Allow time for acclimation and monitor extension as it settles into the reef.
