Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate to Advanced

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting. Introduce it gradually to its intended light level and watch polyp extension and overall response before making placement changes.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving gently. Avoid direct blasting flow, which can prevent comfortable extension and irritate the coral.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with open room for polyp extension. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and adjust only when its response indicates a need.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral space from neighboring corals. Its extended polyps need clearance, and thoughtful spacing helps reduce contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine particulate foods to support this coral. Feed in a way that allows particles to reach the polyps without creating unnecessary buildup.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid stripping the aquarium of all measurable nutrients. This moderate-to-advanced coral benefits from regular observation of polyp extension, tissue condition, and response to lighting, flow, and feeding.

Plan its location carefully, then let consistent conditions support a settled response.
