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 has fleshy polyps and is suited to reef keepers seeking a moderate-care LPS coral for a nano reef or larger 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 when moving it into brighter conditions, as sudden lighting increases can stress fleshy Micromussa tissue.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep debris from settling without exposing the polyps to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Allow time for acclimation before adjusting its final position or increasing light.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from neighboring corals. Maintain spacing to reduce contact and potential stinging interactions, especially around other fleshy LPS corals.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid leaving excess food on the tissue.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response after any change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and adjust placement gradually if the coral shows signs of stress.

Steady placement, gentle flow, and spacing support long-term acan care.
