Avoid sudden changes in alkalinity, salinity or lighting, and do not place it in harsh direct flow. Regular feeding with fine coral foods can be beneficial, but avoid overfeeding in a way that reduces water quality. Inspect carefully before introduction and use coral dips where appropriate. Watch for prolonged retraction, tissue recession or detritus build-up between the polyps, as these can indicate stress or unsuitable placement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntermediate reefkeepers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePremium coral\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll images are a visual representation of the coral you will receive, made to be as accurate as possible.
