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 observe polyp extension as it adjusts to the reef’s lighting conditions.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow rather than a direct blast. Gentle changing movement helps keep the polyps moving while allowing them adequate room to extend.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral open space for polyp extension and make changes gradually during acclimation.

Temperament

Treat it as semi-aggressive and leave room between it and neighboring corals. Its extended polyps need clearance, so avoid crowding it against other placements.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine particulate foods when appropriate. This coral benefits from supplemental feeding, alongside stable reef conditions and available nutrients.

General Care

Moderate to advanced care is recommended. Maintain stable reef conditions, avoid stripping the aquarium of all measurable nutrients, and watch polyp extension and overall response after adjustments to lighting, flow, or placement.

Allow time to settle and adjust conditions gradually for the best response.
