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 with lower exposure and acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter areas, to avoid sudden changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the fleshy polyps from being blasted by direct or aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room around the colony. Acclimate slowly to its final position rather than making abrupt changes in light or water movement.

Temperament

Allow spacing from nearby corals, as this semi-aggressive acan can cause issues with close neighbors. Give it adequate room before placing other corals within reach.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding can be done carefully when polyps are receptive.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after any change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or flow, and adjust placement gradually if the coral appears stressed by its environment.

Keep conditions steady and give this acan room to settle in.
