Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving the coral into brighter areas, to avoid sudden lighting increases.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep the fleshy polyps clear without exposing them to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and allow time to adjust before changing light exposure or water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from nearby corals. Leave spacing for its feeding response and potential stinging reach, particularly around other fleshy LPS.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but avoid overfeeding and keep food portions appropriate for the polyp size.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after any adjustment. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make placement changes gradually rather than repeatedly moving the specimen.

Allow steady conditions and adequate spacing for a settled, responsive coral.
