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. Begin under gentler light, then acclimate slowly if moving it brighter to avoid sudden lighting increases.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Allow time to adjust before changing its position or increasing light.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive acan space from neighboring corals. Maintain separation to reduce contact and potential stinging, especially as polyps expand.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after introducing the coral. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually. Consistent placement, indirect flow, and adequate spacing support dependable day-to-day care.

Acclimate gradually and leave room for its fleshy polyps to expand.
