This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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 this coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the fleshy polyps from receiving a direct, aggressive blast.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and make changes gradually as it adjusts to the aquarium.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive acan can sting nearby corals, so avoid crowding and monitor its reach as polyps expand.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Keep portions modest and observe the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp extension and overall appearance. Avoid abrupt changes to lighting or water movement, and adjust placement only when needed. Consistent care is more useful than frequent, dramatic changes.

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