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 specimen with moderate care needs. Its care centers on restrained lighting, indirect movement, and stable aquarium 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 fleshy polyps.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and make any lighting or flow adjustments gradually.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive acan may irritate nearby specimens, so avoid close placement and monitor surrounding corals.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food offered should be appropriately sized for the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral after placement or adjustments. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, keep flow indirect, and give the specimen room from nearby corals to limit irritation.

Acclimate patiently, provide spacing, and adjust conditions slowly as needed.
