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 keepers who can provide moderate care, stable conditions, and a measured approach to light and flow 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. Introduce it gradually and avoid sudden increases in intensity, watching its response as it settles into the aquarium.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin with moderate placement and acclimate slowly before making changes to light exposure or water movement.

Temperament

Allow extra space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive acan can sting nearby specimens, so avoid crowding and maintain room as it settles.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and portions should remain small to avoid unnecessary waste in the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral regularly after placement. Avoid abrupt adjustments to lighting or flow, and make changes gradually when its location or surrounding aquascape is altered.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate spacing from nearby corals.
