Placement: Position the frag on a stable rock or substrate area with enough space to prevent aggression or stinging from neighbouring corals. Allow at least 5-10 cm clearance from other corals.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from occasional feeding of small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods to promote growth.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid contact with aggressive neighbours.
Origin: Tank-bred and cultured in controlled aquaculture facilities.
Maximum Size: Variable depending on tank conditions; typically grows to a moderate colony size over time.
