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, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, to avoid sudden light increases.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Start in a lower position and adjust gradually after observing its response.

Temperament

Allow spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive acan can compete with nearby specimens, so avoid close contact and give its fleshy polyps room.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and care should remain focused on appropriate lighting, indirect flow, and stable conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral after any changes to lighting, water movement, or placement. Avoid sudden increases in either light or flow, and make adjustments gradually while watching polyp response.

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