This species typically grows as encrusting plates or low, undulating ridges, with tightly packed polyps that give the surface a slightly textured appearance. Its growth pattern allows it to spread evenly over rockwork, creating a smooth, colorful carpet-like effect. The polyps extend modestly, and the coral’s rich pigmentation makes it a striking focal point in SPS-dedicated reef aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"772\" data-end=\"1403\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"772\" data-end=\"787\"\u003eCoral Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate SPS\u003cbr data-start=\"800\" data-end=\"803\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"803\" data-end=\"816\"\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to High lighting requirements (approximately 150–250 PAR)\u003cbr data-start=\"883\" data-end=\"886\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"886\" data-end=\"900\"\u003eFlow Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to High, with indirect turbulence to support polyp extension and prevent detritus buildup\u003cbr data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1002\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1002\" data-end=\"1024\"\u003eFood Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primarily photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; occasional target feeding with fine coral foods such as ReefRoids or Benereef can enhance growth and coloration\u003cbr data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1197\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1197\" data-end=\"1212\"\u003eAggression:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low toward neighboring corals, but allow space to prevent shading or overgrowth\u003cbr data-start=\"1292\" data-end=\"1295\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1295\" data-end=\"1309\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eSubstrate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best placed on stable rockwork or reef structures where it can encrust and expand naturally\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"772\" data-end=\"1403\"\u003eWe maintain a \u003cstrong data-start=\"1424\" data-end=\"1478\"\u003erigorous, veterinarian-approved quarantine program\u003c\/strong\u003e that includes proactive treatments, careful observation, and daily monitoring to ensure the highest standards of coral and invertebrate health.
