Acan Coral

Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral with a fleshy LPS form. This WYSIWYG Acan Coral is suited to reef keepers seeking a colorful Micromussa-style LPS coral for a lower or middle reef position. Its care centers on gentle acclimation, stable conditions, 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 increase only gradually, since sudden lighting changes can stress this coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy tissue or forcing it to remain tightly retracted.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate it gradually to its final light and flow, adjusting placement slowly rather than making abrupt changes.

Temperament

Allow spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral can affect nearby specimens, so give it room and watch for contact as it settles into the reef.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding can be done carefully without overwhelming the coral or surrounding water.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe the coral after any change in placement, lighting, or water movement. Avoid sudden increases in either light or flow, and make adjustments gradually while watching tissue expansion and overall response.

Give it gentle conditions, stable care, and enough room from its neighbors.
