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 an LPS coral suited to reef keepers seeking a fleshy-polyped coral for a lower to middle reef position. Its care centers on moderate conditions, measured acclimation, and adequate spacing.

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. Begin with gentler exposure, then acclimate gradually and avoid sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and make any lighting or flow adjustments gradually.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from neighboring corals. Maintain spacing to reduce contact and potential stinging, especially as surrounding colonies expand.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Keep portions modest and observe the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for changes after placement or adjustments. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make changes gradually so the coral can settle into its location.

Provide measured care, stable conditions, and space from nearby corals.
