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 to any increase in intensity, as sudden lighting changes can stress fleshy acan polyps.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Start in a gentler position and adjust gradually if needed.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Maintain spacing from neighboring corals to reduce the chance of contact and stinging, especially as polyps expand.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after changes. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually while keeping neighboring corals at an appropriate distance.

A measured setup and steady conditions support reliable acan care.
