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 the coral under gentler light and make any increase gradually to avoid sudden lighting changes.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually, and choose a stable position where lighting and water movement remain moderate.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive acan can sting nearby corals, so avoid close contact and leave room as polyps expand.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered when the polyps are receptive, without making target feeding a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral during acclimation. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and adjust placement if polyps remain withdrawn or receive excessive flow.

Give it consistent conditions, moderate placement, and room from nearby corals.
