Quick Care Summary

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

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure, then acclimate gradually to avoid sudden lighting increases.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement should keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement, especially when moving it into brighter light or stronger water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from neighboring corals. Leave spacing to reduce contact and potential stinging issues as polyps expand.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and uneaten food should not be allowed to accumulate around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after any changes. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make placement or flow adjustments gradually if the coral appears stressed.

Provide gentle conditions, adequate spacing, and patience during acclimation.
