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 is suited to reef keepers seeking a fleshy-polyp LPS coral with a care approach centered on moderate placement, gentle water movement, and stable 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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually, avoiding sudden increases that can stress this coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Enough movement should keep the coral clear of buildup without blasting its fleshy polyps directly.

Placement

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

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from neighboring corals. Maintain spacing to reduce contact and potential stinging, particularly around other fleshy LPS corals.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered but are not required. Feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding the surrounding area.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp response as the coral settles in. Make lighting and flow changes gradually, rather than shifting placement or circulation abruptly. Consistent care and adequate spacing support long-term maintenance.

Acclimate patiently and adjust placement only in small steps.
