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 suited to reef keepers looking for a fleshy LPS coral with distinct polyp structure. Its care centers on measured lighting, gentle indirect movement, and consistent 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 the coral into brighter areas, and avoid sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle water movement should keep the polyps clear without blasting the fleshy tissue with direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start in a moderate location and adjust carefully after observing polyp response to light and water movement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral can irritate nearby corals, so avoid tight placement and leave room as it settles.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and portions should be modest to avoid leaving excess food in the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for changes in polyp expansion after adjustments to lighting, flow, or placement, then give the coral time to respond before making further changes.

Stable care and thoughtful spacing help this coral settle into its reef position.
