Acan frag 1 head colour AD, red and white Tartan Acan.

PLEASE NOTE: This coral is now banned from export from Queensland in Australia, and also banned from import into the UK and EU. This particular example was imported before the ban came into force in February 2022. While it is perfectly legal to own, sell, or buy this coral within the UK, no more can be imported into the UK, even ones farmed overseas. This makes the Acans already in the UK a very valuable commodity. This may be your last ever chance to buy this particular colour of this coral.

Acan (Micromussa lordhowensis, previously, Acanthastrea lordhowensis).

PLACEMENT

Low light levels.
Low to medium flow rate.

WATER QUALITY

All hard corals require reasonable water quality. Temperature and salinity should be kept as stable as possible, and low levels of nitrates and phosphates.

LIGHTING

When you receive your coral ensure you do not place it in a spot that is too brightly lit. If a coral is in a spot that is a little low on light it will generally manage ok. If the spot is too bright it can bleach the coral. If in doubt as to the right spot too little light is unlikely to do much harm, compared to too much light.

FLOW

The amount of flow a coral needs depends on the type of coral. See PLACEMENT above, or, contact us if you are unsure. Many LPS corals prefer very low flow, especially fleshy corals such as Torchs, Hammers, Anchors, and Frogspawns, all of which can easily be damaged if flow is too strong.

FEEDING

We recommend target feeding LPS corals at least once a week You may also wish to add liquid coral food too. Soft corals and SPS should be fed primarily just liquid coral food, we recommend using Salty Revolution Coral Food 99. A completely revolutionary approach to coral nutrition.
