Acan Coral

Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral with a fleshy LPS growth form. This WYSIWYG acan coral is suited to reef keepers seeking a fleshy LPS coral with straightforward, moderate care needs. Provide a stable setting, measured acclimation, and 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. Start with gentler exposure and increase only gradually, since sudden lighting changes can stress a Micromussa or acan coral.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without directing a harsh stream onto its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Acclimate slowly to its chosen position rather than making abrupt changes in light or movement.

Temperament

Allow spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may sting nearby specimens, so leave room for its tissue and avoid crowding.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Target feed gently when appropriate and avoid overwhelming the coral with excess food.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after any adjustment. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make placement changes gradually. Consistent care, suitable spacing, and indirect flow help support long-term health.

Give this acan a stable location and adjust conditions slowly.
