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 lighting increases, especially when moving it into a brighter position.
Flow
Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep debris from settling without subjecting the fleshy polyps to direct aggressive flow.
Placement
Place it in the lower to middle reef areas, with moderate placement in mind. Begin in a gentler location and adjust gradually only after observing its response.
Temperament
Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive acan may irritate nearby corals, so avoid crowding and leave room for its fleshy polyps.
Feeding
Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding can be done gently without blasting the polyps.
General Care
Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral as it settles in. Avoid abrupt changes to lighting or water movement, and make placement adjustments slowly rather than moving it repeatedly.
Give this coral stable conditions, gentle flow, and practical space to settle.
