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 aquariums, including nano reef setups when its space and placement needs are met. Its fleshy polyp form makes it a practical choice for lower to middle reef areas.

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, and avoid sudden increases that may stress the coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep debris from settling without exposing the fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate room around the frag. Introduce it carefully and allow time to adjust before changing its position or conditions.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral adequate spacing from nearby corals. Leave room for its fleshy polyps and avoid placing it where neighboring corals can make contact.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. Watch polyp behavior after adjustments to lighting, flow, placement, or feeding, and avoid sudden increases in water movement or light exposure.

Provide stable conditions, indirect flow, and room from neighboring corals.
