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 with reduced exposure, then acclimate gradually to avoid sudden increases in light intensity.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without exposing its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to settle after placement, and make any lighting or water-movement adjustments gradually.

Temperament

Give it space from nearby corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may sting neighbors, so leave room around its polyps rather than placing it against other corals.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods are optional. Target feed gently when desired, and avoid using strong flow during feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral as it acclimates. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and adjust placement slowly if its polyps appear stressed by current or exposure.

Provide gentle conditions, spacing, and gradual acclimation for dependable long-term care.
