{"product_id":"acan-lord-2","title":"Acan Lord","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcan Lords, or Micromussa lordhowensis, are among the most popular and iconic LPS corals in the reefing hobby. Their vibrant colours and relatively easy care make them a fantastic choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists. This piece measures approximately 7cm across its widest point. They hail from the Indo-Pacific, where they form encrusting colonies on rocky substrates. This specific species, Micromussa lordhowensis, is named for Lord Howe Island, though they are found across a much wider range.  LPS that truly draws the eye and rewards careful husbandry. We find them to be one of the most colourful and interesting corals we carry. Expect a range of warm, earthy tones, often with brighter contrasting centres. They are stunning. Their fleshy polyps expand during the day, showing off intricate patterns and textures. At night, their sweeper tentacles may emerge, so careful placement is key. Acan Lords do best under moderate lighting, around 75-150 PAR, and moderate, indirect water flow. They are typically placed in the lower to middle sections of the rockwork. While they do get most of their nutrition from photosynthetic zooxanthellae, they are enthusiastic feeders and will readily accept small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or copepods. Target feeding a few times a week will enhance growth and coloration. Maintain stable water parameters: Calcium 400-440 ppm, Alkalinity 8-10 dKH, and Magnesium 1300-1450 ppm. They are generally peaceful but should be given enough space from other corals, as their sweeper tentacles can sting. When introducing a new Acan Lord, a slow acclimation process helps them adjust to your tank conditions. Acan Lords integrate beautifully into a mixed reef, providing a strong focal point with their substantial, colourful polyps. They offer a striking contrast to branching SPS or more delicate soft corals. Their encrusting growth habit means they will slowly spread across the rockwork, forming impressive colonies over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a WYSIWYG item, so you'll receive the exact specimen pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that colours can look slightly different in person than in photos, depending on your lighting and screen, and the size given is an approximate guide measured at the time of listing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50224949755959,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20260924-FZP8","price":130.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/3e7219ab-7b48-47bb-baec-f4613b383c56-_MG_5122.png?v=1790281922","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/acan-lord-2","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
