Hawk Eye Asian Acan Coral

Hawk Eye Asian Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Hawk Eye Asian Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG acan frag brings the fleshy-polyp form associated with Micromussa corals to a reef aquarium. Its care is moderate, with attention to steady conditions, gentle acclimation, and appropriate spacing from nearby 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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and increase only gradually, as sudden lighting changes can stress this fleshy LPS coral.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas, with moderate placement suited to its light and flow needs. Acclimate gradually when moving it into brighter or more turbulent conditions.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive acan may sting nearby specimens. Avoid crowding it against other fleshy LPS corals or placing it where contact is likely.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods are optional. Target feeding can be offered when practical, but stable conditions remain the foundation of routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral as it adjusts. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make changes gradually. Check that its placement remains clear of direct flow and neighboring corals that could cause contact or stress.

Give it stable placement, gentle flow, and room from nearby corals.
