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 the coral into brighter areas, and avoid sudden light increases that can stress its fleshy polyps.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep debris from settling while avoiding the direct, aggressive flow that can irritate the coral.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Start lower during acclimation, then adjust only gradually if its response indicates a different position is needed.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive acan may sting nearby tissue. Keep its fleshy polyps clear of contact and avoid crowding it against other LPS corals.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when the polyps are receptive and remove excess food if it accumulates.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after any change in light, flow, or placement. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually so the polyps can settle and respond.

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