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 with gentler exposure, then acclimate gradually rather than making sudden increases in intensity.

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. Start in a moderate location and adjust gradually only after it has settled into the aquarium.

Temperament

Allow space from nearby corals. This semi-aggressive acan may sting close neighbors, so avoid crowding and maintain separation as it expands.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, while consistent lighting, flow, and stable conditions remain the foundation of care.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral as it acclimates. Avoid abrupt changes to lighting or water movement, especially after placement or maintenance. Make adjustments slowly, and give the specimen room to remain clear of nearby corals.

A measured acclimation routine supports reliable long-term placement.
