Acan Coral

Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral with fleshy polyps. This WYSIWYG Acan Coral is an LPS coral suited to reef keepers seeking a fleshy-polyped Micromussa for a lower to middle reef position. Its care centers on measured light, indirect flow, and stable conditions.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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, especially when moving it into brighter areas, and avoid sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without exposing its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Start with a moderate position and allow time to adjust before making lighting or flow changes.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may require room around its polyps, particularly near other corals with strong stinging potential.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty feedings are optional. Target feed gently when desired, while avoiding excess food settling on the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral after any adjustment. Make changes to lighting or water movement gradually, and watch for signs that placement, flow, or spacing should be refined.

Give it a stable position and make adjustments slowly.
