Care Level: Suitable for beginner to intermediate hobbyists due to its hardy nature and adaptability.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as T5 fluorescents or LED reef lights. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow helps maintain coral health and prevents detritus accumulation without stressing the polyps.
Placement: Position the frag on live rock or coral plugs in areas with moderate light and flow. Allow adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and ensure healthy growth.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, deriving nutrition from symbiotic zooxanthellae. Occasional feeding of microplankton or coral foods can promote growth.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid contact with more aggressive corals.
