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 any increase in intensity, as sudden lighting changes can stress this coral.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a moderate position and allow time to adjust before making lighting or flow changes.

Temperament

Give it room from neighboring corals. Acan Coral is semi-aggressive, so spacing helps reduce contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Keep portions modest and observe polyp response during feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make adjustments gradually. Watch for changes in polyp expansion, debris accumulation, and nearby coral contact, then adjust placement or flow carefully rather than making sudden changes.

Stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate spacing support reliable long-term care.
