Blood Moon Acan Coral

Blood Moon Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Blood Moon Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This fleshy-polyp LPS coral is suited to reef aquariums where low to moderate light, indirect movement, and stable conditions can be maintained. Its placement needs make it a practical choice for lower to middle reef areas.

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, beginning conservatively and allowing time to adjust. Avoid sudden increases in intensity, which can stress this Micromussa or acan coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow that gently moves water around the polyps. Avoid direct, aggressive current that can keep the fleshy tissue from remaining comfortably extended.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room around the colony. Acclimate gradually to its final lighting and water movement rather than making abrupt changes.

Temperament

Allow spacing from nearby corals because this semi-aggressive LPS coral may irritate close neighbors. Keep its placement clear of corals that can reach it with sweeper tentacles or grow into its space.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive, and avoid excessive food or forceful water movement.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp extension and tissue response after placement. Make lighting or flow adjustments slowly, especially after introducing the coral or changing its location. Consistency is more useful than frequent, dramatic corrections.

Give this coral stable care, gentle adjustment, and adequate room from neighbors.
