This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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. Start with lower intensity during acclimation, then avoid sudden increases that can stress its fleshy polyps.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep debris from settling without exposing the coral to direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Acclimate gradually and adjust only after observing how the coral responds.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral clear space from nearby corals. Allow room for its fleshy polyps and avoid placing sensitive neighbors within potential stinging range.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Keep portions modest and observe the coral's response.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes gradually. Avoid sudden shifts in lighting or water movement, keep detritus from collecting around the coral, and watch polyp behavior when adjusting placement or flow.

A measured setup and consistent maintenance support reliable Acan Coral care.
