Graphed Acan Coral

Graphed Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Graphed 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 reef keepers prepared to provide moderate, consistent LPS care.

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. Begin with gentler exposure and increase only gradually, since sudden lighting changes can stress fleshy acan polyps.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting or repeatedly folding its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually to its final position, especially when moving it into brighter light or stronger water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral moderate spacing from nearby corals. Leave room around the colony to reduce contact and potential stinging interactions with neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Feed carefully and avoid overfeeding the surrounding reef.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after any adjustment. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make changes gradually so the coral can settle into its placement.

Allow space, keep conditions steady, and adjust placement gradually as needed.
