Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity, especially after shipping or when moving it within the reef.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow that keeps debris from settling without blasting the coral. Avoid strong direct flow, which can irritate its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give it time to settle after placement rather than repeatedly changing its position or light exposure.

Temperament

Allow generous space from neighboring corals because this Favia-type brain coral is aggressive. Nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles can reach nearby corals, so avoid close placement.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, particularly when feeding tentacles are visible. Supplemental feeding is optional rather than required.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes gradually. Observe tissue response, feeding tentacles, and nearby coral spacing, then adjust placement or flow carefully instead of making frequent major changes.

A practical LPS choice for a lower-to-middle reef placement.
