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 prepared to provide moderate care, stable conditions, and gradual acclimation to its placement and flow.

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 conservatively during acclimation, then avoid sudden lighting increases that may stress the coral.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter light or stronger water movement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive coral may affect nearby specimens. Give it room rather than placing it tightly against other corals.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, while consistent reef conditions remain the priority.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral after changes in lighting, flow, or placement. Avoid sudden increases in either light or water movement, and make adjustments gradually so its fleshy polyps can settle in.

Give it stable care, indirect flow, and adequate spacing.
