Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and vibrant colouration. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow is ideal to ensure proper gas exchange and waste removal without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral on stable rockwork in areas with moderate light and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for growth.
Care Level: Intermediate. Requires stable water parameters and consistent maintenance.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as plankton or specialised coral foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid coral warfare.
Regular monitoring of water quality and parameters such as calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium is essential for long-term success.
