Acan Coral

Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Acan Coral offers the fleshy polyp form associated with Micromussa and acan corals, making it a practical choice for reef keepers planning a lower to middle reef placement.

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 this LPS coral.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas with moderate room around it. Start with a protected position and adjust only gradually if needed.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. Acan Coral is semi-aggressive, so adequate separation helps reduce contact and potential stinging issues in a mixed reef.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be delivered gently without blasting the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe its response after placement. Avoid abrupt changes to lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually rather than moving it repeatedly through the aquarium.

Give this coral stable conditions, indirect flow, and room from nearby corals.
