Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral with fleshy polyps. This colorful LPS coral is suited to reef keepers seeking a fleshy-polyp Micromussa presentation. Its glowing center and colorful appearance make it a natural fit for a thoughtfully arranged 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. Acclimate gradually to any increase in intensity, as sudden lighting changes can cause unnecessary stress for this coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement is preferable to direct or aggressive flow across the fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and adjust slowly after observing how it responds to light and water movement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive coral can sting nearby specimens, so avoid crowding and leave room as surrounding corals expand.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when desired and avoid blasting food directly onto the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after changes. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make placement adjustments gradually rather than moving it repeatedly.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and room from nearby corals.
