Acan Coral

Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral with fleshy polyps. This WYSIWYG Acan Coral offers the recognizable fleshy-polyp form of an LPS coral for reef aquariums. Its care needs center on measured light, indirect movement, stable conditions, and thoughtful spacing 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

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, and avoid sudden lighting increases.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without exposing its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and allow time to adjust before changing light exposure or water movement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive coral may affect close neighbors. Avoid crowding it against other fleshy LPS corals or corals with long reach.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after any change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually rather than repeatedly relocating the specimen.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and room from neighboring corals.
