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, especially when moving the coral into brighter conditions, and avoid sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and adjust gradually after observing how the coral responds to light and water movement.

Temperament

Allow spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive acan may bother nearby specimens, so leave room and avoid crowding it against other corals.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, but avoid overfeeding and keep portions appropriately small.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after any change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, make adjustments gradually, and give the coral adequate space from nearby corals.

A measured acclimation and consistent reef conditions support long-term care.
