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. Gentle, varied movement helps keep debris from settling without subjecting the polyps to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and adjust only gradually as the coral settles into its lighting and flow.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral can sting nearby specimens, so avoid crowding and leave room for its fleshy polyps.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but stable conditions and appropriate placement remain the foundation of care.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after changes. Make adjustments to lighting or water movement slowly, and watch for debris collecting around the coral or signs that nearby corals are too close.

Give it room, gentle flow, and time to acclimate.
