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. Start in gentler light and increase exposure gradually only if needed, avoiding sudden changes that can stress fleshy acan polyps.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear of settled debris without blasting or repeatedly folding its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Acclimate gradually to its final light and flow rather than moving it quickly into stronger conditions.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Keep appropriate spacing from neighboring corals, as contact or nearby sweepers can lead to stinging and tissue damage.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after any adjustment. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, keep detritus from collecting around the colony, and give changes time before making further corrections.

Steady placement, indirect flow, and sensible spacing support long-term acan care.
