This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually, since sudden increases in light can stress this fleshy LPS coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep the coral clear without directing harsh flow onto its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and avoid moving it abruptly into stronger light or water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive acan ample spacing from neighboring corals. Maintain room around the colony to reduce contact and potential stinging interactions.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any offered food should be appropriately sized for the coral’s fleshy polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the coral as it settles in. Make lighting and flow changes gradually, avoid sudden increases in either, and adjust placement if its polyp response indicates the current location is unsuitable.

Provide steady conditions, indirect flow, and room from nearby corals.
