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 light increases, especially when moving it into a brighter reef position.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle water movement helps keep the fleshy polyps clear without exposing them to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Let the coral adjust gradually before changing its position or increasing light exposure.

Temperament

Allow spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive acan can require room around its polyps, so avoid placing it where it can contact nearby specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be sized appropriately for the fleshy polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after placement. Avoid sudden changes to lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually if the coral appears stressed.

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