It is an attractive small coral and is harvested by the reef aquarium trade.  All corals receive protection by being listed on CITES Appendix II.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed the conservation status of this species as being "vulnerable".<ref name="iucn status 19 November 2021"></ref>
