Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower rock crevice or sand-and-rock edge
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive and capable of moving
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Begin in a gentler area and observe its response before making changes, avoiding abrupt shifts in intensity.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can interfere with settling and make it harder for the foot to stay securely attached.

Placement

Place it in a lower rock crevice or at a sand-and-rock edge. Allow the foot to secure itself, and expect it may move while selecting a suitable location.

Temperament

Leave room from neighboring corals and anemones. It is semi-aggressive and capable of moving, so provide spacing around its intended location and monitor nearby specimens.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Offer an occasional small meaty food if desired, while keeping stable conditions and suitable placement as the primary care priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity and temperature, and protect the foot from damage during placement or relocation. Allow time to attach after introduction instead of repeatedly moving it. Check its position regularly, especially if it begins traveling around the aquarium.

A secure foothold and gentle conditions support successful long-term placement.
