Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral for reef aquariums. This WYSIWYG Acan Coral offers the fleshy-polyp look associated with Micromussa and acan corals, making it a natural fit for reef keepers seeking an LPS coral with moderate care requirements.

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 prevent sudden light increases, and observe the coral’s response before changing its position.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy polyps with direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and allow time for acclimation before making changes to lighting or flow.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive LPS coral room from nearby corals. Maintain spacing to reduce the chance of stinging or contact as neighboring corals expand.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, monitor polyp behavior, and adjust placement only when needed after the coral has had time to settle.

Allow space, stable conditions, and gradual acclimation for reliable ongoing care.
