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. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, and avoid sudden increases that can stress its fleshy polyps.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep the coral clear of debris without directing aggressive flow onto the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Let the coral settle before making further changes to light or water movement.

Temperament

Allow room between this semi-aggressive coral and neighboring corals. Maintain spacing to reduce contact and potential stinging, particularly around other fleshy LPS corals.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize stable conditions and observe polyp response when introducing food.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make adjustments gradually. Watch for changes in polyp extension, tissue appearance, or response to flow, then correct placement or water movement slowly rather than making abrupt changes.

A practical choice for a lower-to-middle placement in a stable reef aquarium.
