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 aquariums that can provide moderate care, stable conditions, and a measured approach to light and water movement.

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. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, to avoid sudden light increases.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the fleshy polyps from receiving a direct, aggressive blast.

Placement

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

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral adequate spacing from neighboring corals. Leave room for its fleshy polyps and avoid placing sensitive corals within potential stinging range.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed carefully and avoid overwhelming the coral with excess food.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after changes. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make placement adjustments gradually rather than repeatedly moving the coral.

Allow time for acclimation and keep nearby corals properly spaced.
