Golden Basket Asian Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG acan coral features fleshy polyps and golden basket coloration with glowing centers. Its LPS care profile suits reef keepers who can provide stable conditions and measured acclimation.

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. Start in gentler light and increase exposure gradually, avoiding sudden lighting changes during acclimation.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep debris from settling while protecting the fleshy polyps from direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin with moderate placement and adjust only gradually after observing how the coral responds.

Temperament

Allow space from nearby corals because this semi-aggressive acan can sting close neighbors. Avoid crowding it against other fleshy LPS corals.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for changes in polyp extension or tissue response. Acclimate slowly to new lighting and water movement, then make adjustments one at a time rather than making sudden changes.

Give it stable placement, indirect flow, and room from neighboring corals.
