This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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, with gradual acclimation to avoid sudden increases in intensity. Observe its response and adjust placement slowly rather than making abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow that keeps the coral clear without blasting its fleshy polyps. Avoid direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and acclimate gradually. Choose a stable location with moderate conditions, then allow time to settle before making changes.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive acan may sting nearby specimens. Keep adequate separation and monitor surrounding corals as it settles into its chosen area.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Keep portions modest and avoid relying on feeding in place of stable aquarium conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and watch for changes after adjustments to lighting or flow. Avoid sudden increases in either, provide appropriate spacing, and make gradual corrections based on the coral’s response.

Consistent placement, gentle flow, and spacing support long-term care.
