Hypnotic Asian Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Hypnotic Asian Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Acan coral has fleshy polyps and is suited to reef keepers looking for a colorful LPS coral with moderate care requirements. Its placement, flow, and lighting should be adjusted gradually.

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. Begin under gentler light and acclimate slowly, avoiding sudden increases that can stress this Micromussa or acan coral.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Allow time for acclimation before moving it toward stronger light or flow.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from neighboring corals. Maintain spacing to reduce the chance of contact and potential stinging interactions as polyps expand.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently and avoid overfeeding the surrounding reef.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response as the coral settles in. Make lighting and water-movement changes gradually, and adjust placement if the coral appears uncomfortable with its current exposure.

Steady placement and gradual acclimation support long-term success with this Acan coral.
