Acan / Micromussa Coral - Care Requirements

Acan / Micromussa Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This fleshy-polyp LPS coral suits reef keepers looking for a colorful Micromussa or acan placement in a reef aquarium. Its moderate care needs center on gentle acclimation, appropriate spacing, and consistently stable conditions.

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 in lower light and increase exposure gradually only after the coral has adjusted, avoiding sudden lighting changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed 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 room around it. Acclimate gradually to its final lighting and water movement rather than making abrupt changes.

Temperament

Allow space between this semi-aggressive coral and nearby corals. Keep it clear of neighbors that may be affected by stinging or that could crowd its fleshy polyps.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be sized appropriately to avoid leaving excess waste in the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral during acclimation. Avoid sudden increases in light or water movement, and adjust placement slowly if its polyp extension or overall appearance suggests it needs a calmer position.

Give this LPS coral steady conditions, gentle flow, and room from nearby corals.
