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. Begin with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually to avoid abrupt changes in intensity.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without directing a strong stream onto its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to adjust after introduction, and avoid repeatedly moving it or changing its light exposure.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral ample space from neighboring corals. It can extend nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles, so keep nearby specimens outside their reach.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods may be offered when tentacles are visible. Avoid overfeeding and maintain clean surrounding conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes gradually. Observe tissue response, tentacle extension, and nearby spacing after placement, especially as the coral settles into its location. Consistency is preferable to frequent shifts in flow, lighting, or placement.

Provide space, indirect flow, and stable conditions for reliable long-term care.
