Tony the Tiger Asian Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Tony the Tiger 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 looking for a Micromussa coral with a moderate care profile. Its needs center on measured lighting, indirect flow, 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. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter areas, and watch for how the polyps respond before increasing exposure.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep debris from settling without blasting the fleshy polyps with direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and make adjustments slowly as it acclimates to your aquarium’s light and water movement.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral can affect nearby specimens, so avoid crowding and plan room around its polyps.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when desired and avoid leaving excess food on the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes gradually. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, keep detritus from collecting around the coral, and observe polyp response after placement or maintenance changes.

Give it room, gentle flow, and time to settle into placement.
