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 where its fleshy polyps can be viewed from the lower to middle areas of the aquascape. Provide measured acclimation and consistent conditions.

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. Start with gentler exposure and increase only gradually, as sudden lighting increases can stress this coral.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep debris from settling without exposing the fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually to its final location, especially when moving it into brighter light or stronger water movement.

Temperament

Allow spacing from nearby corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may irritate close neighbors, so avoid crowding and monitor surrounding corals after placement.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Feed carefully and observe polyp response rather than forcing a frequent feeding schedule.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make adjustments slowly. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, keep the tissue clear of debris, and watch for changes in polyp expansion or irritation from nearby corals.

Give it steady conditions, indirect flow, and room from neighboring corals.
