Acan Coral

Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral with fleshy polyps. This LPS coral is suited to reef keepers who can provide moderate care, stable conditions, and a measured approach to lighting, flow, and placement.

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 and avoid sudden increases in intensity, especially after moving the coral within the reef.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the fleshy polyps from receiving a direct, aggressive blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start in a moderate location and allow time to adjust before making major lighting or flow changes.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from nearby corals. Maintain spacing to reduce the chance of contact or stinging issues as polyps expand.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding carefully so food reaches the polyps without excess disturbance.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after any adjustment. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make changes gradually when refining its placement.

Steady care and thoughtful spacing support long-term success with this coral.
