An exceptional branching coral. Begin away from your light source until they've acclimated and then move them to where they can gather the most light available. Monitor water temperature, can be susceptible to overheating.
While the addition of coral calcium will stimulate polyp extension, Porities require biomass feedings and can't rely solely on supplements for proper health. Feed anytime during the day. They are preferential to zooplankton, marine algae and other minute bio foods.
If properly cared for, the arms increase in number and lengthen.
