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 frag suited to reef keepers seeking a fleshy-polyped Micromussa or acan coral. Its moderate care needs make careful placement, stable conditions, and gradual acclimation important.

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. Start the coral under gentler light, then acclimate slowly to avoid sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear of debris without blasting its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Give it a stable spot with moderate placement conditions and acclimate gradually after introduction.

Temperament

Allow spacing from nearby corals because acans are semi-aggressive. Avoid crowding it against neighbors, especially corals that may sting or compete for room.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral as it settles in. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and adjust placement gradually if the coral appears stressed or is not extending normally.

Keep conditions steady and provide room for this semi-aggressive LPS coral.
