Quick Care Summary

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

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually to avoid abrupt changes in light intensity.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without aiming a strong direct stream at its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to settle after introduction rather than repeatedly moving it or changing its light exposure.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral ample space from nearby corals. Nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles can reach neighboring specimens, so avoid close placement.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods may be offered when feeding tentacles are visible.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. Observe tissue response, extension, and nearby coral spacing, especially after adjustments to lighting, flow, or placement.

Steady care and thoughtful spacing support long-term placement in the reef.
