Care Level: Suitable for hobbyists with some experience in coral husbandry. This coral requires stable water parameters and moderate lighting to thrive.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching. LED or T5 lighting systems with adjustable intensity work well.

Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows to a diameter of 10–15 cm, depending on tank conditions.
