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 conservatively during acclimation, then observe its response before making gradual adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without directing aggressive flow across its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually and secure the frag where it has room to settle without nearby coral contact.

Temperament

Allow conservative spacing from neighboring corals. Exact aggression can vary by coral group, so leave room to reduce the chance of contact or stinging issues.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional appropriately sized coral food may be offered, while avoiding excess food that can affect overall reef conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for changes in tissue response, color, or extension after adjustments. Make changes gradually, especially when modifying lighting, flow, placement, or feeding, and avoid direct aggressive flow.

Give it stable conditions, indirect movement, and adequate space to settle in.
