Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Allow space from neighboring corals
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Begin with a gentler position and acclimate gradually when introducing it to brighter reef lighting.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without directing aggressive flow across its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start in a lower-light location, then observe its response before making gradual placement adjustments.

Temperament

Leave conservative space around it. Exact aggression can vary by coral group, so avoid close placement with neighboring corals and allow room for future adjustment.

Feeding

Offer occasional appropriately sized coral food if desired. Feeding is optional, and water quality and stable conditions remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the coral after any changes to lighting, flow, or placement. Avoid sudden adjustments, keep direct aggressive flow off fleshy tissue, and use its visible response to guide gradual refinements.

Thoughtful placement and stable conditions support reliable long-term care.
