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. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity and watch for consistent polyp extension and coloration as it settles into the reef.
Flow
Use moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the polyps moving without exposing them to direct blasting flow.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Leave open space around the colony so its polyps have room to extend fully.
Temperament
Treat this coral as semi-aggressive. Provide spacing from neighboring corals and monitor nearby placement to reduce contact and potential stinging issues.
Feeding
Offer occasional fine particulate foods to support this coral. Feeding can be targeted when polyps are extended, while avoiding excess waste accumulation.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid stripping the aquarium of all measurable nutrients. Observe polyp extension, response to flow, and neighboring corals regularly, then make gradual adjustments rather than abrupt changes.
Give it stable conditions, varied flow, and clear space for extension.
