• Temperament: Generally peaceful but space for growth
• Care Level: Advanced

Lighting

Provide strong reef lighting and acclimate gradually to avoid sudden exposure changes. Once adjusted, this coral is best maintained under consistent lighting rather than frequent intensity or schedule changes.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow that reaches the colony from changing directions. Avoid low-flow or stagnant areas where debris can settle around the coral.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after a careful acclimation period. Secure the coral firmly and allow room to adjust before making placement or lighting changes.

Temperament

Generally peaceful, but leave space for growth and avoid crowding nearby corals. Plan its location with future branching expansion in mind.

Feeding

Strong lighting provides primary support. Fine coral foods may be offered as an optional supplement when appropriate for the established system.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, and observe the coral regularly for changes in extension or tissue condition after any system adjustment.

Best kept in a stable, mature reef with attentive SPS care.
