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 and avoid sudden increases in intensity, which can stress this coral.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and allow time to adjust before moving it toward brighter light or stronger circulation.

Temperament

Give it space from nearby corals. This semi-aggressive acan can affect close neighbors, so avoid crowding and account for potential stinging contact.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when desired and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral as it settles in. Make changes to lighting or water movement slowly, and watch for signs that placement, flow, or nearby coral spacing needs adjustment.

Allow gradual acclimation and consistent conditions for dependable long-term care.
