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 water movement.

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 and avoid sudden increases in intensity, which can stress fleshy Micromussa polyps.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Start with a gradual acclimation period before changing its position or light exposure.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Maintain spacing from neighboring corals to reduce contact and potential stinging, especially as polyps expand.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after adjustments. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and make any placement or flow corrections gradually rather than all at once.

Give it stable placement, indirect flow, and room from neighboring corals.
