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 the chosen intensity and watch polyp extension as it adjusts to its position.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving gently. Avoid direct blasting flow, which can prevent comfortable extension.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room for full polyp extension. Allow time to acclimate before making placement changes.

Temperament

Treat this coral as semi-aggressive and leave space between it and neighboring corals. Its extended polyps need clearance to reduce contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine particulate foods to support this coral. Feeding is beneficial, and flow can be briefly reduced during feeding if needed.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid stripping the aquarium of all measurable nutrients. Monitor polyp extension, tissue appearance, and nearby coral spacing, then make changes gradually rather than frequently moving the specimen.

Consistent placement and gentle, varied flow support reliable polyp extension.
