This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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. Acclimate gradually and avoid sudden increases in intensity, which can stress fleshy acan polyps.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should gently carry debris away without blasting or constantly folding the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Begin with gentler conditions, then make changes gradually as it settles.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from neighboring corals. Leave space for its fleshy polyps and potential stinging reach, especially around other LPS corals.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch polyp response as placement is adjusted. Avoid abrupt changes in lighting or water movement, and keep surrounding corals far enough away to prevent contact.

Steady care, indirect flow, and thoughtful spacing support long-term acan health.
