Acan Coral

Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Acan Coral offers the fleshy polyp form associated with Micromussa corals and suits reef keepers looking for an LPS coral with moderate care requirements.

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, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, and avoid sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without subjecting its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Allow time to adjust after introduction before making major changes to light or flow.

Temperament

Give it space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral can sting nearby specimens, so avoid close placement and monitor surrounding corals.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods may be offered when practical, without making target feeding a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe its response after adjustments. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and make placement changes gradually if the coral appears unsettled.

Steady conditions, indirect flow, and adequate spacing support long-term placement.
