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, since sudden lighting changes can stress this fleshy LPS coral.

Flow

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

Placement

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

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive acan room from nearby corals. Leave spacing for its fleshy polyps and potential stinging response, especially around other LPS corals.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after adjustments. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, keep its placement consistent, and remove settled debris with gentle indirect flow.

Allow time for acclimation and adjust conditions gradually based on polyp response.
