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, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, and avoid sudden lighting increases.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a moderate location and allow time to adjust before making changes to light or water movement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals because this acan is semi-aggressive. Keep it away from corals that may sting or crowd it, and leave room for its polyps to expand.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently and avoid creating excessive flow around the polyps during feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after any placement or equipment change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and adjust its position gradually if its polyp extension or overall appearance changes.

Give this acan steady conditions, indirect flow, and adequate spacing.
