Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, indirect and varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually when moving it into brighter areas to help it adjust without sudden light changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Gentle movement is ideal; avoid strong direct flow that can keep the tentacles from extending naturally.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location and adjust placement gradually if lighting or flow needs refinement.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing from neighboring corals. Its tentacles can sting nearby specimens, so allow ample room as they extend and move.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when desired and avoid blasting food directly onto the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes, observe tentacle extension and tissue condition, and make any lighting, flow, or placement adjustments gradually.

Provide stable care, indirect flow, and adequate spacing for long-term placement.
