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 prepared to provide moderate LPS care. Its placement, flow, and lighting should be adjusted gradually as it settles into the 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

Use low to moderate lighting. Start conservatively and increase exposure only gradually, watching for how the coral responds rather than making sudden changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep debris from settling without subjecting the fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement, especially when moving it into brighter light or stronger water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from nearby corals. Leave spacing for its fleshy polyps and potential stinging reach, particularly around other LPS corals.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods are optional. Target feeding can be offered when practical, but stable conditions remain the priority for routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral regularly as it acclimates. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually if polyp behavior suggests the placement needs refinement.

Keep changes gradual and provide adequate space from neighboring corals.
