Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Acan Coral is an LPS coral suited to reef keepers seeking a fleshy-polyp Micromussa with moderate care needs. Its care is centered on gentle acclimation, stable conditions, and appropriately spaced placement.

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 in gentler light and acclimate gradually, especially when moving it from a different lighting environment, to avoid sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy polyps or creating a direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Allow time to settle after introduction, and adjust only gradually if lighting or flow needs refinement.

Temperament

Give it space from nearby corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may require separation from neighbors to reduce contact and stinging risk as it settles into the reef.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but prioritize appropriate lighting, gentle flow, and stable conditions rather than making feeding a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after any change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, make adjustments gradually, and keep its placement clear of neighboring corals that could cause contact.

Acclimate patiently, provide space, and keep care adjustments gradual.
