SunRise Rainbow Acan Coral - Care Requirements

SunRise Rainbow Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG acan coral features fleshy polyps and rainbow coloration with glowing centers. Its LPS care profile suits reef keepers prepared to provide stable conditions, gentle acclimation, and appropriate spacing from nearby corals.

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 with gentler exposure and increase only gradually, watching the coral closely for its response to changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Avoid direct, aggressive current that can continually blast the fleshy polyps or prevent them from settling naturally.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually to its final location, especially when moving it into brighter light or stronger water movement.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from neighboring corals. Leave spacing around the specimen to reduce contact and potential stinging issues as polyps extend.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize stable conditions and observe how the coral responds before establishing a routine.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make adjustments slowly. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and monitor polyp behavior after placement, feeding, or changes to surrounding corals. Consistent observation helps guide any needed refinements.

Allow time to settle before making further placement or flow adjustments.
