Pirate Hunter Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Pirate Hunter Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG acan coral has the fleshy-polyp form associated with Micromussa and is suited to reef keepers who can provide measured lighting, gentle indirect movement, and consistent conditions.

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 and avoid sudden increases in intensity, which can stress this fleshy LPS coral.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle water movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting or continually folding its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in a lower to middle reef area with moderate placement options. Start with a gradual acclimation period before moving it into brighter locations.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive acan can sting nearby specimens, so avoid close contact and account for room around its fleshy polyps.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be delivered gently without creating excessive flow.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and watch for changes after adjustments. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, keep its placement consistent during acclimation, and make changes gradually so the coral can settle.

A measured approach to light, flow, and spacing supports long-term care.
