Pirate hunter Asian acan Coral - Care Requirements

Pirate hunter Asian acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG acan coral is offered as the pictured specimen, with the fleshy-polyp form associated with Micromussa. It suits reef keepers seeking an LPS coral for a lower to middle reef position.

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 and avoid sudden lighting increases, especially when introducing it to an established reef.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without subjecting its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and make gradual adjustments only after observing its response.

Temperament

Allow spacing from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive LPS coral may sting nearby specimens. Keep its location clear rather than crowding it against other corals.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty feedings are optional. Target feeding can be offered as part of routine reef care, but it is not required.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral as it settles in. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and adjust placement gradually if its response indicates a need for less intensity or gentler flow.

Give this acan room, stable conditions, and gradual acclimation.
