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 who can provide measured lighting, gentle indirect movement, and consistent conditions. Its fleshy polyp structure benefits from thoughtful placement and room from neighboring corals.

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. Start the coral under gentler light and increase exposure gradually only after it is settled and responding well.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep detritus from settling without blasting or continually folding the fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Acclimate gradually to its final light and flow position rather than making sudden changes.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral adequate spacing from neighbors. Allow room for its fleshy polyps and avoid placing it where nearby corals can cause contact or competition.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered when polyps are receptive. Keep portions modest and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after placement. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and adjust gradually if the coral appears stressed or remains tightly retracted.

Provide gentle acclimation, stable care, and space for the best response.
