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. Start with gentler exposure, then acclimate gradually to prevent stress from sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep debris from settling without blasting the fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement space. Acclimate slowly when moving it into stronger light or water movement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive LPS coral may sting nearby specimens. Avoid crowding it against other fleshy corals.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently and avoid adding more food than the aquarium can process.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after any change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually. Keep the surrounding area clear of debris and leave room for neighboring corals.

Steady conditions, indirect flow, and thoughtful spacing support this acan’s care.
