Lighting:
Moderate to low (PAR 50–150). Brings out best fluorescent colors under blue/actinic lighting.
Flow:
Low to moderate. Gentle currents allow for feeding and full expansion without damaging delicate tissue.
Placement:
Ideal on the sandbed or stable rock platform with room to expand. Keep away from aggressive stingers.
Feeding:
Photosynthetic but thrives with supplemental feeding 1–2x per week. Offer meaty foods like mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or coral pellets to enhance growth and color vibrancy.
Water Parameters:
Temperature: 76–80°F (24–27°C)
Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG
pH: 8.1–8.4
Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH
Calcium: 400–450 ppm
Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
Behavior:
Peaceful species but extends feeder tentacles at night. Provide spacing from other corals to prevent stings.
