Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start conservatively during acclimation, then observe the coral’s response before making gradual adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow that keeps water moving without blasting the fleshy tissue. Avoid direct aggressive flow across the coral.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with open space around it. Acclimate gradually to the chosen light and flow conditions.

Temperament

Leave conservative space between this coral and neighboring corals. Exact aggression can vary by coral group, so avoid close placement and monitor surrounding specimens.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional appropriately sized coral food may be offered, while maintaining suitable overall reef conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe tissue response, placement, and flow after introduction. Avoid abrupt changes, keep direct aggressive flow off fleshy tissue, and adjust care gradually if the coral appears stressed.

Give this WYSIWYG plate coral room and stable conditions to settle in.
