Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Acan Coral has the fleshy polyp form associated with Micromussa corals and is suited to a reef aquarium with moderate, consistent care.

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, and avoid sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without directing aggressive flow at its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and adjust slowly after observing its response to light and water movement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral should not be crowded, as close placement can lead to stinging interactions.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Keep portions modest and observe the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for signs that lighting or flow is too strong, particularly after placement or routine tank adjustments. Consistent spacing, indirect flow, and patient acclimation support reliable care.

Give this coral stable conditions and room from nearby neighbors.
