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 to avoid sudden increases in intensity, and observe polyp response as the coral settles in.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep debris from settling without blasting the fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Start in a lower position during acclimation, then adjust only gradually if needed.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive acan may sting nearby corals, so leave room for expansion and avoid crowded placement.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes slowly. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, keep the coral free of accumulating debris, and monitor its polyp extension and overall response after placement.

Give this acan stable conditions, indirect flow, and room from its neighbors.
