Acan Coral

Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral with fleshy polyps. This WYSIWYG acan coral suits reef keepers looking for a fleshy LPS coral with glowing centers and vibrant coloration. Its compact form can work well in a nano reef or as part of a mixed coral display.

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 and avoid sudden increases in intensity, which can stress fleshy polyps.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep debris from settling without blasting the coral’s fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Start in a lower position during acclimation, then adjust only gradually if needed.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from neighboring corals. Leave spacing for nighttime stinging potential and avoid placing it where nearby corals can contact its polyps.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after any change. Avoid sudden shifts in lighting or water movement, keep detritus from collecting around the coral, and make adjustments slowly to support consistent extension.

Allow time for acclimation before making further placement or flow changes.
