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 and avoid sudden increases in intensity to help this coral adjust without unnecessary stress.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep debris from settling while avoiding direct, aggressive flow on its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement, then allow time to acclimate before making gradual adjustments.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive acan can affect nearby specimens, so avoid crowding and monitor its reach as it settles in.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be sized appropriately and introduced without overwhelming the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after changes. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, keep its placement consistent during acclimation, and make adjustments gradually based on its response.

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