Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start conservatively during acclimation, then observe tissue response before making gradual placement or lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow that keeps the coral clear without striking fleshy tissue directly. Avoid aggressive, concentrated water movement across the specimen.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually and choose a position where indirect flow and stable lighting can be maintained.

Temperament

Leave conservative space around this coral. Exact aggression can vary by coral group, so avoid close placement with neighboring corals and monitor for contact.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional appropriately sized coral food may be offered, while maintaining clean conditions and observing the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for tissue response after adjustments to lighting, flow, or placement, and avoid direct aggressive flow across fleshy areas. Provide room from nearby corals to reduce contact risk.
