Acan Coral

Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Acan Coral is an LPS coral suited to reef keepers who can provide measured lighting, gentle water movement, and stable conditions. Its fleshy polyps make placement and flow adjustment especially important.

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 the coral under lower intensity and increase exposure gradually only if needed, avoiding sudden lighting changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep the fleshy polyps clear without blasting or continuously retracting them.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas with moderate room around it. Acclimate gradually to its final light and flow position.

Temperament

Allow spacing from nearby corals because this semi-aggressive LPS can affect close neighbors. Avoid placing it where other corals can crowd, shade, or contact its polyps.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered when the polyps are receptive. Avoid overfeeding and remove excess food if needed.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp extension after placement. Make changes to lighting or water movement slowly, and adjust its position if flow is too forceful or the coral remains consistently retracted.

Give this coral space, stable conditions, and gradual acclimation.
