Tuscan Sun Asian Acan coral - Care Requirements

Tuscan Sun Asian Acan coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG Acan coral has the fleshy-polyp form associated with Micromussa corals and is suited to a reef aquarium with moderate, consistent care. Plan its location around gentle flow, measured lighting, and room 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 a gentler position, then acclimate slowly if moving it toward brighter reef areas to avoid sudden light increases.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without blasting or forcefully whipping its fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Give the frag time to adjust in a moderate location before making significant changes to light or water movement.

Temperament

Allow space between this semi-aggressive coral and its neighbors. Avoid close placement with corals that may be reached by its sweepers or compete for the same area.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after any adjustment. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or flow, make changes gradually, and keep its placement clear of neighboring corals so it has room to settle.

Acclimate patiently and let polyp response guide future placement adjustments.
