Rising Sun Rainbow Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Rising Sun Rainbow Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Rising Sun Rainbow Acan Coral is an LPS coral with fleshy polyps, suited to a reef aquarium maintained around the moderate care needs of Micromussa and acans.

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

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without exposing its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive current.

Placement

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

Temperament

Give it space from nearby corals. This semi-aggressive acan may sting close neighbors, so avoid crowding and leave room around the colony.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding gently can help avoid excess food settling on the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral as it settles in. Make adjustments to lighting or flow slowly rather than all at once, and keep surrounding corals far enough away to prevent contact.

Allow gradual acclimation and consistent care for the best long-term placement.
