Acan / Micromussa Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG LPS coral is selected for buyers seeking a fleshy-polyp coral with glowing centers and colorful reef-tank presence. Its moderate care needs suit reef keepers who can provide stable conditions and measured acclimation.

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. Begin with gentler exposure, then acclimate gradually to avoid sudden increases in light.

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. Start in a moderate location and make gradual adjustments only after it has settled into the aquarium.

Temperament

Allow room between this semi-aggressive coral and nearby corals. Provide spacing to reduce contact and potential stinging, especially as neighboring corals expand.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding carefully so food reaches the polyps without adding unnecessary waste.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral during acclimation. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and adjust placement slowly if its polyp behavior indicates the current environment is too intense.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate space from neighbors.
