Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral with fleshy polyps. This WYSIWYG acan coral is suited to reef keepers looking for a fleshy LPS coral with a moderate care profile. Its care centers on gentle acclimation, indirect movement, and consistent conditions.

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. Start with reduced exposure after introduction, then acclimate gradually to avoid sudden increases in light.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep debris from settling without subjecting the fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to adjust, and make any changes in placement or lighting gradually.

Temperament

Allow space between this semi-aggressive coral and nearby corals. Maintain moderate placement and avoid close contact that could lead to stinging or competition.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Keep portions modest and observe the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after changes. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, especially during acclimation. Consistent placement, indirect flow, and adequate spacing support a more manageable long-term care routine.

Introduce gradually and give it stable conditions to settle in.
