Blood Moon Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Blood Moon Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG acan coral features fleshy polyps and is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide moderate care. Its placement and flow needs are typical of Micromussa corals.

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 fleshy LPS coral.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep debris from settling without blasting or excessively disturbing the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Allow time to adjust after moving it or changing its lighting.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from neighbors. Leave space for its fleshy polyps and avoid placing it where it can contact nearby corals.

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 conditions and observe polyp response as lighting, flow, or placement changes. Make adjustments gradually, particularly when increasing light or water movement, and keep the coral clear of persistent debris.

Provide gentle, consistent care and adequate spacing for long-term reef placement.
