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

Use low to moderate lighting. Begin with gentler exposure and increase only gradually, watching the coral closely to avoid sudden lighting changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep debris from settling without subjecting fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Acclimate gradually to its final lighting and flow position.

Temperament

Allow room between this semi-aggressive coral and neighboring corals. Maintain spacing to reduce contact and potential stinging interactions, especially as surrounding corals expand.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, keep its placement consistent, and monitor polyp extension and nearby coral contact as the reef develops.

Give it gentle conditions, room from neighbors, and time to settle.
