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. Acclimate this coral carefully, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, and avoid sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, indirect movement helps keep the coral clear without exposing its fleshy polyps to aggressive direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Begin in a gentler location and adjust gradually as it settles in.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Keep neighboring corals at a respectful distance to reduce the chance of contact and stinging issues.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered when appropriate, while maintaining stable conditions as the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral during acclimation. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and make any placement or flow adjustments gradually. Its moderate care profile rewards patient, consistent husbandry.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and room from nearby corals.
