Acan Coral

Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Acan Coral is an LPS coral suited to reef keepers who can provide measured lighting, gentle indirect movement, and stable conditions. Its care approach centers on gradual acclimation and giving the colony room 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. Start with reduced exposure after introduction, then acclimate slowly to avoid sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep debris from settling while avoiding direct, aggressive flow on its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a moderate location and make changes gradually as it settles into the aquarium.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive LPS coral may sting nearby specimens. Keep it clear of corals that could contact or crowd its fleshy polyps.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and uneaten food should not be allowed to accumulate around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral after any system changes. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and adjust placement gradually rather than making rapid changes. Consistent husbandry and adequate spacing support its long-term care.

Provide gentle acclimation, stable conditions, and room from nearby corals.
