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 light increases, which can stress this coral.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Start with a lower-light position and adjust slowly as needed.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive acan can sting nearby specimens, so avoid placing it within reach of other corals.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered when polyps are receptive, without making target feeding a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after adjustments. Make changes to lighting, water movement, or placement gradually, and avoid sudden increases in either light or flow.

Give this acan room, gentle flow, and time to settle.
