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 seeking a fleshy-polyp Micromussa for a carefully maintained display. Its care calls for measured light, indirect movement, 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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually and avoid sudden increases in intensity, which can stress a Micromussa or acan coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without subjecting its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and make changes gradually as the coral adjusts to its position.

Temperament

Allow spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral can cause problems when placed too close to other corals, so give it room.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, while maintaining appropriate indirect flow during and after feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after any adjustment. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and make placement changes slowly. Consistent care and adequate spacing support a more manageable reef display.

Keep its placement, lighting, and water movement steady over time.
