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 polyps.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting or constantly whipping its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and adjust gradually if lighting or water movement needs refinement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may sting nearby specimens, so avoid crowding and keep its placement clear.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered when desired, while maintaining appropriate indirect flow during feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after changes. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually to support consistent extension and overall condition.

Give it room, stable conditions, and gentle acclimation to new placement.
