Pirate hunter Asian acan Coral - Care Requirements

Pirate hunter Asian acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This fleshy-polyp LPS coral is offered as a WYSIWYG piece, so the photographed specimen is the one you will receive. Its glowing centers and rainbow coloration give it a distinct presence in a reef aquarium.

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 increase exposure gradually only as needed, avoiding sudden changes that can stress its fleshy polyps.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting the tissue with direct or aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Acclimate gradually to its final lighting and flow rather than making abrupt placement changes.

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Keep neighboring corals outside potential stinging reach, especially as the colony expands or extends feeding tentacles.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe tissue response after any adjustment. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make changes gradually to support consistent polyp behavior.

A practical choice for lower-to-middle reef placement with measured, stable care.
