Frag sizes: Roughly 1.5" – 2" tall when fully extended.

Lighting: Thrives under low to medium light, approximately 40–100 PAR. Too much light may slow pulsing behavior.

Water Flow: Prefers low to moderate flow. Gentle, indirect flow allows for optimal pulsing and extension.

Feeding: Primarily feeds via zooxanthellae and dissolved nutrients in the water. Direct feeding is not required, though stable nutrient levels support healthy growth and strong pulsing behavior.
