Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral with fleshy polyps. This LPS coral is suited to reef keepers seeking a Micromussa or acan for lower to middle areas of the aquascape. Its care profile calls for measured lighting, indirect movement, and adequate room from nearby 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. Acclimate gradually and avoid sudden increases in intensity, which can stress this coral.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep the fleshy polyps clear without exposing them to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and make gradual adjustments only after observing its response to light and flow.

Temperament

Allow spacing from neighboring corals. Acan Coral is semi-aggressive, so leave room around it to reduce contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods are optional. Target feed lightly when desired, and avoid overfeeding or allowing food to collect on the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral regularly for its response to placement. Avoid abrupt changes in lighting or water movement, and give it time to adjust before making further changes.

Provide steady care, indirect flow, and space for reliable placement.
