Acan Coral

Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral with fleshy polyps. This WYSIWYG acan coral is suited to reef keepers looking for a fleshy LPS coral with moderate care needs. Give it a stable location, gentle water movement, and room 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. Acclimate gradually to any increase in intensity, as sudden lighting changes can stress this coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep detritus from settling without subjecting the fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Start in a stable spot and adjust slowly if lighting or flow needs refinement.

Temperament

Allow space between this semi-aggressive coral and neighboring corals. Its stinging potential makes separation important, especially around other fleshy LPS corals.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods are optional. Target feed lightly when desired, while avoiding excess food that can affect surrounding water quality.

General Care

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

Stable placement, indirect flow, and spacing support dependable long-term care.
