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 seeking a fleshy-polyp Micromussa presentation. Its care centers on restrained lighting, gentle indirect movement, and stable conditions rather than abrupt changes.

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 increases in intensity, which can stress fleshy polyps.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and allow time to adjust before moving it into brighter light or stronger water movement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral can affect close neighbors, so leave room between it and other specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and uneaten food should not be allowed to accumulate around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after any change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or flow, make adjustments gradually, and keep its placement clear of nearby corals that may crowd or irritate it.

Give it steady conditions, gentle flow, and adequate spacing to settle in.
