Acan Coral

Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral with fleshy polyps. This WYSIWYG acan coral is an LPS coral suited to reef aquariums with measured lighting, gentle indirect movement, and room to settle. Its care is moderate, with gradual adjustments preferred over sudden changes.

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. Acclimate gradually and avoid sudden lighting increases, especially when introducing the coral to an established reef.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the fleshy polyps from receiving a direct, aggressive blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Allow time to acclimate before making major changes to light or water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral adequate spacing from neighboring corals. Leave room around its polyps to reduce contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding should be gentle and avoid disrupting the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after placement. Make changes slowly, particularly to lighting and flow, rather than shifting conditions abruptly. Check surrounding corals regularly and preserve the spacing needed for a semi-aggressive LPS coral.

Provide steady conditions, indirect flow, and space for this acan to settle.
