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 prepared to provide moderate care, stable conditions, and a measured approach to lighting, flow, and placement.

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 and avoid sudden lighting increases, which can stress fleshy polyps.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without exposing its 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. Acans are semi-aggressive, so spacing helps reduce contact and potential stinging issues in a mixed reef.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and avoid overfeeding around the fleshy polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after any adjustment. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make changes gradually so the coral can settle into its placement.

Give this coral room, stable care, and time to acclimate.
