Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Begin with gentler exposure during acclimation, then adjust gradually rather than making sudden changes in intensity.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without blasting it, and strong direct flow should be avoided.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and avoid repeatedly moving it between locations or lighting levels.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous space from neighbors. Nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles can reach nearby corals, so avoid close placement with susceptible specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and target feeding can be done carefully when feeding tentacles are present.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. Observe tissue response, tentacle extension, and nearby corals after acclimation or adjustments, especially when lighting, flow, or placement changes are needed.

Provide stable care, indirect flow, and ample spacing from nearby corals.
