Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral with fleshy polyps. This WYSIWYG Acan Coral is an LPS coral suited to reef keepers seeking a fleshy-polyp Micromussa or acan for a lower to middle reef position. Its moderate care needs center on steady conditions and gentle acclimation.

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 lower exposure and increase gradually only if needed, avoiding sudden lighting changes while the coral settles in.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle water movement should reach the polyps without blasting the coral with direct, aggressive current.

Placement

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

Temperament

Allow room around this semi-aggressive coral. Maintain spacing from neighboring corals to reduce contact and potential stinging, especially as polyps expand.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Keep feedings measured and observe how the coral responds.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and monitor polyp response after placement or adjustments. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make changes gradually so the coral can adapt without unnecessary stress.

Give it steady conditions, indirect flow, and space from nearby corals.
