Chomper Asian Acan Coral

Chomper Asian Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Chomper Asian Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG acan features fleshy polyps and is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide the measured care expected of an LPS coral. Its coloration and glowing centers make it a distinct choice for a lower or middle reef area.

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. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, and avoid sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without subjecting its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in a lower to middle reef area with moderate room around it. Allow time to acclimate before adjusting its position, lighting, or flow.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral adequate spacing from neighboring corals. Leave room to reduce the chance of contact and stinging, particularly with other fleshy LPS corals.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Keep feedings modest and observe how the coral responds.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes gradually. Watch polyp behavior after any adjustment to lighting or water movement, and avoid abrupt increases in either. Consistent placement, suitable spacing, and restrained flow are important for ongoing care.

Provide steady conditions and adjust placement only when observations call for it.
