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 and avoid sudden increases in intensity to help the coral adjust without unnecessary stress.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the fleshy polyps clear while avoiding the direct, aggressive flow this coral does not prefer.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start in moderate placement, then make gradual adjustments only after observing how the polyps respond.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive acan can sting nearby specimens, so avoid placing it where extended tissue can contact other 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 conditions and observe polyp extension, tissue condition, and response to placement. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and give the coral room to settle before making further adjustments.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and appropriate space from neighbors.
