Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and coloration. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water movement is ideal, ensuring polyps can extend fully without damage from strong currents.
Placement: Position in a stable location with adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and ensure proper polyp expansion. Mid to lower levels of the aquarium are preferred.
Care Level: Intermediate. Requires stable water parameters and regular monitoring to thrive.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from supplemental feeding of planktonic foods or coral-specific feeds.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing due to potential for aggressive sweeper tentacles.
Regular water quality maintenance and stable conditions will support healthy growth and vibrant colouration of this beautiful coral.
