Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Acan Coral is a fleshy LPS coral suited to reef keepers prepared to provide moderate care, stable conditions, and gradual acclimation to its new aquarium environment.

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

Use low to moderate lighting. Begin with gentler exposure and increase slowly only as needed, avoiding sudden light changes during acclimation.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should be gentle enough to avoid blasting the fleshy polyps while still keeping the coral clear of settled debris.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to adjust, and make any changes to placement or lighting gradually.

Temperament

Allow extra space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive coral may sting nearby specimens, so moderate placement and thoughtful spacing help prevent contact.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Keep portions modest and observe the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for changes in polyp behavior after introduction. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and adjust placement gradually rather than making several changes at once.

Provide gentle acclimation, stable conditions, and room from nearby corals.
