Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Acan Coral offers the fleshy-polyp form associated with Micromussa, with care centered on gentle acclimation, stable conditions, and appropriate spacing in a reef aquarium.

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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with a gentler light level and acclimate gradually, avoiding sudden increases that can stress this LPS coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy polyps with direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate room around it. Acclimate carefully to its final location rather than making abrupt changes in light or water movement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. Acan Coral is semi-aggressive, so avoid close contact and give it room to reduce the risk of stinging or conflict.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be delivered gently without creating excessive flow around the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after placement or adjustments. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make changes gradually while allowing the specimen adequate spacing from nearby corals.

Keep conditions steady and give this coral room to settle in.
