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 keepers seeking a fleshy-polyp Micromussa or acan. Its care profile calls for measured lighting, indirect movement, and stable 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. Acclimate gradually to avoid sudden light increases, especially when moving the coral into its permanent location.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps avoid blasting the fleshy polyps with direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement, allow time to adjust, and avoid abrupt changes in lighting or water movement.

Temperament

Allow extra spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may require room to reduce contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so observe the coral’s response and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for changes in polyp behavior after adjustments. Make lighting, flow, and placement changes gradually rather than all at once, giving the coral time to settle.

Keep conditions steady and provide space for long-term placement.
