SunSet Plate Coral

SunSet Plate Coral - Care Requirements

SunSet Plate Coral is a large-polyp stony coral with moderate care requirements. This WYSIWYG LPS coral is offered as the pictured specimen. Its care profile calls for measured lighting, indirect water movement, and thoughtful placement suited to fleshy coral tissue.

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: Moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Allow space from neighboring corals
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure during acclimation, then observe the coral’s response before making gradual placement or lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the area refreshed without blasting fleshy tissue or creating a constant direct stream across the coral.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually and choose a secure location where lighting and indirect flow remain consistent.

Temperament

Leave conservative space between this coral and neighboring corals. Exact aggression can vary by coral group, so avoid crowding and monitor nearby corals after placement.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional appropriately sized coral food can be offered when practical, while keeping portions controlled and observing the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Avoid direct aggressive flow across fleshy tissue, keep its placement secure, and routinely watch for changes in expansion, tissue condition, or interactions with nearby corals.

A measured setup and consistent observation support long-term placement.
