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 who can provide measured lighting, gentle indirect movement, and consistent conditions. Its fleshy polyp structure benefits from thoughtful placement and room from nearby corals.

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 in gentler light and increase exposure gradually only if needed, avoiding sudden lighting changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep debris from settling without blasting or repeatedly folding the fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Acclimate gradually after introduction, especially when moving it into brighter light or stronger circulation.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals because this coral is semi-aggressive. Avoid close contact with other corals and monitor surrounding placement as polyps expand.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid excess food collecting on the tissue.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral regularly for polyp response. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, keep detritus from accumulating around the specimen, and make adjustments gradually rather than all at once.

Give it stable care, indirect flow, and room to expand comfortably.
