Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, indirect and varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting and allow time for acclimation before making placement changes. Observe polyp expansion and adjust gradually if the coral appears to prefer a different position.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving gently. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent comfortable expansion and irritate the fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room to expand. Start with a secure location, then acclimate gradually to its final light and flow exposure.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral generous space from neighboring corals. Expanded polyps can sting nearby specimens, so leave room around it and watch for nighttime reach.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional meaty foods can be offered when polyps are expanded. Keep portions modest and avoid relying on feeding instead of stable conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid corrections. Check expansion, tissue condition, and nearby coral spacing regularly, especially after acclimation or changes to flow, lighting, or maintenance routines.

Provide steady care and room to expand for reliable long-term placement.
