Acan Coral

Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This fleshy LPS coral suits reef keepers looking for a Micromussa or acan coral with a practical moderate-care profile. Give it measured light, gentle indirect movement, 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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually and avoid sudden increases in intensity, which can stress a coral accustomed to lower light.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should be gentle enough that the fleshy polyps are not continuously blasted by direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and adjust gradually only after observing its response to lighting and flow.

Temperament

Allow spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive coral may pose a stinging risk, so avoid close contact and give it room as it settles in.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be sized appropriately for the coral's fleshy polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes slowly. Watch polyp behavior after placement or adjustments, especially when increasing lighting or water movement, and avoid abrupt shifts in either.

Provide steady care and space for this semi-aggressive LPS coral.
