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 with fleshy polyps, suited to reef keepers who can provide measured lighting, gentle water movement, and consistent conditions.

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 fleshy Micromussa or acan coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without directing aggressive flow at its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and allow time to adjust before moving it to brighter light or stronger water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral space from neighboring corals. Leave room around the colony to reduce contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding gently can help avoid unnecessary food settling on the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral as it adjusts. Make changes slowly, especially when increasing lighting or water movement, and keep surrounding corals far enough away to prevent contact.

Provide steady care, gentle flow, and adequate spacing for best long-term placement.
