Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Sand bed or protected lower reef area
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually and observe the fleshy tissue as it adjusts, avoiding abrupt changes in exposure.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep debris from settling without directing forceful flow onto the fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it on the sand bed or in a protected lower reef area. Choose a stable, nonabrasive surface and keep the tissue clear of sharp rock.

Temperament

Allow generous space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may require separation to reduce contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Offer occasional appropriately sized meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize appropriate placement and stable reef conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and acclimate carefully. Check that the coral remains secure, with fleshy tissue protected from abrasion, unstable surfaces, sharp rock, and direct flow. Adjust placement if tissue appears exposed to irritation.

A protected placement helps this fleshy LPS coral settle in comfortably.
