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 conservatively during acclimation, then avoid sudden increases that can stress the coral.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the fleshy polyps clear without blasting them with direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually to its chosen light and flow, and allow room around the frag.

Temperament

Allow spacing from nearby corals because this semi-aggressive acan can irritate close neighbors. Keep it away from corals that may crowd or sting its fleshy polyps.

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 the coral after placement or adjustments. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and make gradual corrections if the polyps stay withdrawn or appear irritated.

A stable, gently lit location supports long-term acan care.
