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 suited to reef keepers looking for a colorful LPS coral with glowing centers and fleshy polyp texture. Its care profile calls for measured lighting, indirect flow, and room from neighboring 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. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, and avoid sudden increases that can stress fleshy tissue.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle water movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting or constantly whipping its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement, then make gradual adjustments only after observing its response to light and flow.

Temperament

Allow space from nearby corals because this semi-aggressive LPS coral can sting neighbors. Keep placement clear of corals that may crowd it or receive contact from its polyps.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when the polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after any system changes. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make placement adjustments gradually rather than moving it repeatedly.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate spacing from neighboring corals.
