Acan Coral

Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG acan coral has the fleshy polyp form associated with Micromussa corals and suits a thoughtfully maintained reef aquarium. Its care is moderate, with a gradual approach to light and water movement.

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 gentler exposure and increase only gradually, watching for signs that the coral is responding comfortably.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give it time to acclimate after placement, particularly before making changes to lighting or flow.

Temperament

Allow spacing from nearby corals because this semi-aggressive LPS coral can sting close neighbors. Moderate placement helps leave room for surrounding colonies.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize stable conditions and observe how the coral responds.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement. Observe polyp response after adjustments, and make changes gradually rather than moving the coral repeatedly. Consistent placement and appropriate spacing support long-term care.

Acclimate slowly, provide room, and keep its environment consistent.
