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

Use low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure during acclimation, then adjust slowly while watching for consistent polyp appearance and response.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy polyps with direct current.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate before moving it, especially when introducing it to brighter light or stronger water movement.

Temperament

Give it moderate spacing from nearby corals. Acan corals are semi-aggressive, so leave room between neighbors to reduce contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed carefully when polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral regularly for changes in polyp appearance. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually to support a steady transition.

Allow space, stable conditions, and gradual acclimation for dependable long-term care.
