Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure, then acclimate gradually to avoid sudden increases in light.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Enough movement to keep the coral clear is helpful, but avoid direct or aggressive flow on its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Acclimate carefully when adjusting its position or changing lighting.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Maintain spacing from neighboring corals to reduce the chance of contact and stinging interactions.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the coral as it acclimates. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make changes gradually. Its moderate care level is best supported by consistent placement, indirect flow, and adequate spacing.

Steady conditions and gradual adjustments support long-term acan care.
