Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Allow space from neighboring corals
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start conservatively and acclimate gradually when introducing it to brighter reef lighting.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied water movement helps keep fleshy tissue clear while avoiding direct aggressive flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to adjust after placement, and avoid positioning it where strong flow hits the tissue directly.

Temperament

Give it conservative space from neighboring corals. Exact aggression can vary by coral group, so leave room to reduce contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Offer occasional appropriately sized coral food if desired. Feeding is optional and should be done in a way that does not overwhelm the surrounding reef.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe tissue response after changes to lighting, flow, or placement. Avoid sudden adjustments, keep direct aggressive flow off fleshy tissue, and make room around the coral for healthy positioning.

A measured setup and careful spacing support long-term placement success.
