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 this coral.

Flow

Provide 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. Start with a moderate position and adjust slowly after observing its response to light and water movement.

Temperament

Allow spacing from nearby corals. This semi-aggressive acan can sting close neighbors, so give it room rather than placing it directly against other corals.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods are optional. Feeding can be offered carefully when polyps are receptive, but stable conditions remain the priority.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. Watch polyp response after placement, especially when adjusting light or flow, and avoid abrupt increases in either. Give the coral time to settle before making further changes.

Provide gentle acclimation, stable conditions, and adequate space from neighboring corals.
