This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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 under gentler light and increase exposure slowly only if needed, avoiding sudden lighting changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the fleshy polyps from receiving constant direct pressure.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Acclimate gradually to its final lighting and water movement.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Maintain spacing from neighboring corals to reduce contact and potential stinging issues as polyps expand.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Keep portions modest and observe the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make adjustments gradually. Watch polyp extension and tissue condition after placement, feeding, or changes to lighting and flow, then adjust only as needed.

A measured acclimation and adequate spacing support long-term placement.
