Just like it says. I got it second hand from someone.

Acan

anything I should know about it? does it require high light?

No -- they prefer medium to med-low light and non-direct lower flow.

Low light , medium to low flow. Gorgeous coral, lps .

I love acan , I think this is an acan lord, but not sure

 

[Ranjib]

Yeah keep it at the bottom . It’s lps so coral frenzy or anything chunky is a good food for them .

Do I need to target feed it?

Do I need to target feed it?

You don’t have to , but if you do they will thrive and grow lot faster . Broadcast feeding is somewhere in the middle

There’s mine it’s awesome I love it just feed it copapods and Reef roids and keep in low flow and more towards the bottom of the tank it will do great

Acan lords were recently reclassified as micromussa lordhowensis so now it would be a micro lord . Just because science likes to mess with reefers.

Copapods are live micro organisms if they do well they will become about 1/4 of an inch full grown

 

[STEVEN ADAMS]

How do you feed it copapods?

I must have messed something up when I did a water change. It has been a week and most of my corals have shriveled up pretty bad except all of my button polyps. Here is a photo of the same Acan you guys identified. it is pretty shriveled and looks worse every day seems like. does it have a chance of getting better? is it dying? my salinity was 1.20 when I got the tanks I did 5 gal water change in 35 gal tank. increased the salinity to 1.22 when it wass all said and done. I just dumped the bucket of water in and none of my corals appreciated it. they all shrunk and closed up within minutes. button polyps doing fine now. frog spawn shriveled but it is almost back to normal. hammer coral not looking great but seems to be getting better. all of my mushrooms are pretty much shriveled up and are 1/4 size they were originally. this acan is pretty shrunk too. what you guys think? what could I do different next time? anyone experienced this? did your corals pull through? also my sand sifting brittle star has died after a 5 days.

here is a photo of my sun coral mushrooms and hammer all in one. sun coral definitly not extended as far as before but it is alive. doesnt seem to be feeding very well either. hammer is as big as ive seen it since water change but not original size. mushrooms are tiny they were the size of half dollar before and smaller than a dime now. anything I can do to help them?

 

[ReefJake123]

Okay so the copapods I order from online as a 3,000 live copapods as long as u don’t have any wrasses or mandarins you will be fine with their growth in your tank

 

[ReefJake123]

For your corals how long has it been since you did the water change and wym by u dumped it? Bc just throwing it in the tank is no bueno
