Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Aberrant Cnidaria babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~556 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Aberrant Cnidaria raises by totaling food across all babies. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.
The baby Aberrant Cnidaria takes approximately 3 days and 20 hours to fully mature at default rates - over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.
Each baby inherits stats from both parents with a chance of mutation - +2 wild levels to a random stat plus a color change. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Aberrant Cnidaria's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Aberrant Cnidaria as an aquatic, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Variant group.
With 173 base Health, the Aberrant Cnidaria is on the squishy side. Its base Melee Damage sits at 106%, giving it solid damage output. Stamina sits at 120 base, providing limited endurance. It carries 25 base Weight - very limited carrying capacity.
The Aberrant Cnidaria is a wild creature that cannot be tamed through conventional methods. Defeating one in the wild grants 1 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
