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 fleshy acan tissue.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Begin in gentler light and adjust slowly only if needed.

Temperament

Allow space around this semi-aggressive coral. It can affect nearby corals, so avoid close placement and monitor its neighbors as it settles in.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be sized appropriately to avoid excess waste.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for response to lighting and flow, keep debris from collecting around the coral, and avoid abrupt increases in water movement or light intensity.

Give this acan room, gentle flow, and time to acclimate.
