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 looking for a fleshy-polyp Micromussa with a manageable low-to-moderate light and flow care profile.

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, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without subjecting its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Start in a lower-light location and adjust gradually only after observing its response.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Keep neighboring corals at a safe distance to reduce contact and potential stinging, particularly as polyps expand.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when desired and avoid using strong flow during feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after any change in lighting, flow, or placement. Make adjustments slowly rather than all at once, and avoid sudden increases in light or water movement.

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