We recommend moderate, indirect water flow to encourage full polyp extension without causing damage. Ideal placement is on the sandbed or lower rockwork, ensuring it has ample space to expand. While photosynthetic, supplemental feeding with phytoplankton or other coral foods once or twice a week is highly beneficial for optimal health and growth. Maintain stable water parameters: temperature around 75-78°F, salinity 1.025-1.026, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, calcium 400-450 ppm, and magnesium 1300-1350 ppm.
