Lunar Eclipse Rainbow Acan

Lunar Eclipse Rainbow Acan - Care Requirements

Lunar Eclipse Rainbow Acan is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG acan offers the fleshy-polyp form associated with Micromussa corals and is suited to reef keepers seeking an LPS coral with a moderate care profile.

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

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter areas, and avoid sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps avoid blasting the fleshy polyps with direct, aggressive flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and adjust slowly as it settles into the aquarium’s lighting and water movement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive acan can require room around its fleshy polyps, particularly near corals that may compete for the same area.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods are optional. Target feeding can be offered when practical, but it is not required as a routine part of care.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after any change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make placement adjustments gradually rather than all at once.

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