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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start conservatively and acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter areas, to avoid sudden lighting increases.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep debris from settling while avoiding the direct, aggressive flow that can irritate fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room around the colony. Acclimate gradually to its final position rather than making abrupt changes in light or water movement.

Temperament

Allow spacing from nearby corals because this semi-aggressive LPS coral can sting close neighbors. Avoid crowding its fleshy polyps against other coral colonies.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after any adjustment. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make placement changes gradually if the coral appears irritated.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate space from neighboring corals.
