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 and avoid sudden lighting increases, which can stress this acan coral.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle water movement helps keep the fleshy polyps clear without exposing them to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and allow time to acclimate before making changes to light or flow.

Temperament

Allow space between this semi-aggressive coral and its neighbors. Avoid close placement with other corals, as contact can lead to stinging or tissue damage.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after any adjustment. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and reposition only when needed to find a comfortable lower-to-middle reef location.

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