GatorAde Acan Coral

GatorAde Acan Coral - Care Requirements

GatorAde Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG acan coral has the fleshy-polyp form associated with Micromussa and is suited to a reef aquarium with measured placement, gentle acclimation, 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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure, then acclimate gradually rather than making sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without blasting or constantly pushing its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate room around it. Acclimate carefully to its final lighting and flow conditions.

Temperament

Allow spacing from nearby corals because this semi-aggressive acan may sting close neighbors. Avoid crowding it against other fleshy LPS corals.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but supplemental feeding is optional. Target feed gently when the polyps are receptive.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and watch for changes after placement. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually while observing polyp response and nearby coral spacing.

Give this acan stable conditions and room to settle into its placement.
