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, especially after moving the coral or making lighting changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, indirect movement helps keep the coral clear without exposing its fleshy tissue to direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in a lower to middle reef area. Start with moderate placement and allow time to adjust before changing its position, lighting, or flow.

Temperament

Allow space from nearby corals because this acan is semi-aggressive. Give it room to avoid contact and potential stinging interactions as it settles into its placement.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Keep portions modest and observe how the coral responds before establishing a routine.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for how the coral responds to its location, then adjust lighting or water movement carefully rather than making sudden corrections. Consistent placement and spacing support reliable day-to-day care.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and room from neighboring corals.
