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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to brighter conditions, since sudden increases in light can stress this coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the fleshy polyps clear without exposing them to direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and adjust only gradually as the coral settles into its lighting and flow.

Temperament

Allow extra space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive acan can sting nearby specimens, so avoid close placement and monitor its reach.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Keep portions modest and observe polyp response during feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for changes in polyp extension or tissue appearance. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make any placement adjustments gradually.

Give it room, stable conditions, and gentle acclimation for consistent care.
