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. Introduce it gradually to its final intensity, as sudden lighting increases can stress this fleshy LPS coral.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy polyps with direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room around the colony. Acclimate gradually when moving it into stronger light or more water movement.

Temperament

Allow spacing from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive acan can sting nearby specimens. Avoid placing it where surrounding corals can crowd or contact its polyps.

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 the coral after any change in lighting, flow, or placement. Avoid sudden increases in either light or water movement, and give it time to settle before making additional adjustments.

Give this acan stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate space.
