Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to brighter conditions, since sudden increases in light can stress this fleshy LPS coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle water movement helps keep the coral clear without subjecting its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive flow.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle areas of the reef. Start with moderate placement and allow time for acclimation before making lighting or flow adjustments.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. Acan corals are semi-aggressive, so avoid crowding and account for possible stinging when planning nearby coral placement.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, while stable reef conditions remain the foundation of care.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after any adjustment. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make changes gradually so the coral can acclimate. Keep its placement clear of close neighbors that may cause contact or stinging.

Give this coral steady conditions, appropriate spacing, and gradual acclimation.
