Sunrise Rainbow Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Sunrise Rainbow Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG acan coral has fleshy polyps and is suited to a reef aquarium kept with the measured conditions preferred by LPS corals. Its moderate care needs make it a practical choice for hobbyists ready to provide stable placement and flow.

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 to the intended intensity, especially when moving it from a lower-light area or introducing it to a new system.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep the fleshy polyps clear without exposing them to direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Allow time to settle after introduction, and avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral adequate spacing from neighboring corals. Leave room around the polyps to reduce contact and potential stinging issues as it settles into its position.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when desired, while avoiding excessive food accumulation around the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp response as the coral acclimates. Make adjustments gradually rather than increasing lighting or water movement suddenly, and keep its placement clear of close neighboring corals.

Stable conditions, indirect flow, and sensible spacing support long-term placement.
