Acan / Micromussa Coral - Care Requirements

Acan / Micromussa Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Acan is a fleshy LPS coral suited to reef keepers seeking a Micromussa placement for lower to middle areas of the aquascape. Its care centers on restrained lighting, indirect movement, and 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

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually and avoid sudden increases in intensity, which can stress a Micromussa or acan coral.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef. Start with moderate placement and adjust gradually only after observing its response to light and water movement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may require separation to reduce contact and potential stinging issues.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but stable aquarium conditions remain the primary care priority.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes slowly. Watch the coral after any adjustment to lighting, flow, or placement, and avoid abrupt increases in either light intensity or water movement. Give it room from nearby corals as it settles in.

Keep conditions steady and make placement changes gradually.
