Acan Coral

Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral suited to reef aquariums. With fleshy polyps, glowing centers, and colorful acan character, this LPS coral is suited to reef keepers seeking a compact coral for a nano reef or larger display.

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 to any lighting change, as sudden increases can stress a Micromussa or acan coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, indirect movement helps avoid blasting the fleshy polyps with direct, aggressive water flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin with moderate placement and adjust carefully only after observing its response to light and water movement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral can affect nearby corals, so avoid close placement and leave room as it settles.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and uneaten food should not be allowed to accumulate around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after placement or maintenance changes. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually to support a consistent response.

Give this acan stable conditions, gentle flow, and adequate spacing.
