Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral with a fleshy LPS form. This WYSIWYG Acan Coral is suited to reef keepers looking for a fleshy Micromussa-style LPS coral with moderate care needs. Its care is best centered on restrained lighting, gentle indirect movement, and stable 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

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually and avoid sudden increases in intensity, which can stress this fleshy LPS coral.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy tissue with direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement, then allow time to adjust before making changes to light or water movement.

Temperament

Allow spacing from nearby corals. Acan corals are semi-aggressive, so give them room and avoid placing sensitive neighbors within reach.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but maintain stable conditions rather than relying on frequent target feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after placement or adjustments. Make changes gradually, especially when increasing lighting or water movement, and avoid abrupt shifts that can stress fleshy tissue.

Give this coral steady conditions, gentle flow, and adequate space from neighbors.
