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 and avoid sudden increases in intensity, which can stress fleshy acan polyps.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting or repeatedly folding its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Start in gentler conditions, then adjust gradually based on polyp response.

Temperament

Allow space around this semi-aggressive coral. Keep neighboring corals beyond potential contact range, since acans can sting nearby specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so observe polyp response and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes slowly. Watch for consistent polyp extension and avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement. Give the coral time to settle after placement or any adjustment.

Provide stable, gentle conditions and room from neighboring corals.
