Pirate Hunter Asian Acan Coral

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 features fleshy polyps and is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide the moderate care expected of Micromussa. Its lower-to-middle placement needs make acclimation and spacing important.

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. Start with gentler exposure and increase only gradually, avoiding sudden lighting changes while the coral settles in.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually to its final position, and make adjustments slowly if lighting or flow needs refinement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive LPS coral can sting nearby specimens. Keep adequate separation, especially from corals with similarly fleshy tissue.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered when practical, without relying on heavy or frequent target feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after any change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, provide moderate placement, and preserve spacing as surrounding corals grow or shift.

Introduce changes gradually and monitor polyp response during acclimation.
