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 coral with glowing centers. Its care centers on moderate conditions, careful acclimation, and 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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually, since sudden increases in light can stress this coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, distributed movement is preferable to direct or aggressive flow across the fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a moderate position and adjust slowly only after observing its response to lighting and water movement.

Temperament

Allow spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral can affect nearby corals, so avoid crowding it into contact with surrounding specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any offered food should be appropriately sized for the coral's polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral during acclimation. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually. Consistent placement, indirect flow, and adequate spacing help support reliable day-to-day care.

Acclimate slowly, provide space, and keep conditions steady.
