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 and increase only gradually, as sudden lighting changes can stress this coral.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Avoid direct, aggressive current that can batter the fleshy polyps or prevent them from extending naturally.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually to its final position and allow room to adjust before making further changes.

Temperament

Allow ample spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive acan can sting nearby corals, so avoid close placement and monitor surrounding specimens.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Keep portions modest and observe the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes slowly. Watch polyp extension and overall appearance after adjustments to lighting, flow, or placement, and avoid sudden increases in water movement or light intensity.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and room from neighboring corals.
