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. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter areas, and watch for changes in polyp appearance after adjustments.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep debris from settling without subjecting the fleshy tissue to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room around the colony. Start in a moderate location and make changes slowly as the coral acclimates.

Temperament

Allow spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive acan can sting nearby corals, so avoid close placement and account for its reach as it expands.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered when polyps are receptive, while avoiding excess food that can foul the surrounding area.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after any change in lighting or water movement. Avoid sudden increases in intensity or flow, and keep the tissue clear of settled debris through appropriate indirect circulation.

Give it steady conditions, indirect flow, and adequate space from neighbors.
