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, beginning on the gentler side after introduction. Increase exposure only gradually while watching its response rather than making abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow that gently moves water around the coral without blasting its fleshy polyps. Avoid direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas, leaving room around the frag for acclimation and future spacing. Begin in a moderate location and adjust gradually if needed.

Temperament

Treat this coral as semi-aggressive and leave clear space between it and neighboring corals. Plan placement to prevent contact issues, especially with nearby fleshy corals.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, but keep portions modest and avoid overfeeding the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes slowly. Observe the coral after adjustments to lighting, flow, or placement, and avoid sudden increases in either lighting or water movement.

Give it steady conditions, gentle acclimation, and space from neighboring corals.
