Vibrant Acan Lord Coral for Your Reef Tank

Add a splash of stunning color and unique texture to your aquarium with the Acan Lord coral, a truly captivating LPS species.

Overview

The Acan Lord coral, scientifically known as *Micromussa lordhowensis* (formerly *Acanthastrea lordhowensis*), is a highly sought-after large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant, contrasting colors and large, fleshy polyps. Originating from the Indo-Pacific, these corals display spectacular patterns in shades of red, green, orange, blue, and purple. They form colonies and add a bold visual impact to any reef aquarium. Their relatively forgiving nature makes them a popular choice for aquarists.

Care Level

Easy to Moderate. Acan Lords are known for being relatively hardy and forgiving, adapting well to stable reef systems. They are moderately aggressive and can extend feeder tentacles at night, so proper spacing from other corals is essential.

Tank Essentials

This coral thrives in reef tanks with stable water parameters, moderate to low lighting (50-150 PAR), and gentle, indirect water flow. Aim for a minimum tank size of [data unavailable] litres and maintain parameters like pH 8.1–8.4, salinity 1.024–1.026, and a temperature of 23–27°C.

Diet

While photosynthetic, Acan Lords benefit greatly from supplemental feeding. Offer small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or coral pellets 2–3 times per week.
