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 seeking a fleshy-polyp Micromussa with a moderate care profile. Its placement, flow, and lighting needs are best approached gradually.

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. Begin under gentler light and increase exposure slowly only as needed, avoiding sudden lighting changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without directing aggressive water movement onto its 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.

Temperament

Allow spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may need room around it, particularly when placed near other fleshy corals.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered when practical, while keeping overall tank conditions stable.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral after any adjustment. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make placement changes gradually so it can settle into the reef.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate space from nearby corals.
