Lunar Eclipse Rainbow Acan - Care Requirements
Lunar Eclipse Rainbow Acan is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral with rainbow coloration and glowing centers. This fleshy-polyp LPS coral brings rainbow coloration and glowing centers to a reef aquarium. Its compact care needs suit lower-to-middle placement, including thoughtfully planned nano reef tanks, with attention to stable conditions and nearby coral spacing.
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. Start in gentler light and acclimate gradually, since sudden increases in intensity can stress a Micromussa or acan coral.
Flow
Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep the coral clear without directing aggressive flow onto its fleshy polyps.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin with moderate placement and adjust slowly after observing its response to lighting and water movement.
Temperament
Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may sting nearby specimens, so avoid crowding and give it room as it settles into its chosen placement.
Feeding
Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize consistent husbandry rather than treating target feeding as a requirement.
General Care
Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, observe polyp response after adjustments, and keep surrounding corals at a respectful distance to reduce contact.
Acclimate patiently and let its placement guide any later adjustments.
