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 prepared to provide moderate care, stable conditions, and a measured approach to lighting 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. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter areas, and avoid sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear of debris without subjecting its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and allow time to adjust before changing its position, lighting, or water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral adequate spacing from neighboring corals. Leave room for its fleshy polyps and avoid close placement where stinging contact may occur.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when desired and avoid creating excessive flow around the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after any adjustment. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and make placement changes gradually so the coral can settle into its location.

Provide stable care, indirect flow, and space from nearby corals.
