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. Start in gentler light and acclimate gradually, avoiding sudden increases that can stress the fleshy polyps.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy tissue with direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Begin in a sheltered location, then adjust only gradually if needed.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Keep neighboring corals beyond its reach, as close placement can lead to stinging or competition.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so observe polyp response and avoid overfeeding the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes slowly. Watch for changes in polyp appearance after adjusting light, flow, or placement, and avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement.

Give this acan space, gentle flow, and time to settle in.
