{"product_id":"acan-lord-5","title":"Acan Lord","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcanthastrea lordhowensis, commonly known as Acan Lord, holds a revered place in the reef keeping hobby. These LPS corals are cherished for their striking patterns and ability to develop vibrant colouration under proper care. They are generally hardy and can make a fantastic addition for both new and experienced aquarists looking to add a focal point to their tank. This piece measures approximately 7cm. This particular specimen is ready for its new home.     Acan Lords are known for their fleshy polyps that inflate during the day, displaying a textured surface. The colouration of these corals can be quite diverse, often showing intricate mixes of hues that contrast beautifully, creating a visual feast in the aquarium. Their growth form is typically encrusting, slowly spreading over the rockwork or substrate.    For optimal health, Acan Lords appreciate moderate lighting, ideally around 50-100 PAR. Flow should be moderate and indirect to prevent tissue damage while still ensuring detritus is removed. Placement on the sandbed or lower to mid-rockwork is usually best. They are enthusiastic feeders and benefit from target feeding small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or copepods a few times a week, though they can also absorb nutrients from the water column. Maintain stable water parameters: Calcium at 420-440 ppm, Alkalinity at 8-9 dKH, and Magnesium at 1300-1400 ppm. Acan Lords can be aggressive, so ensure adequate space, at least a few inches, from neighbouring corals to prevent stinging. Acclimation should be gradual, especially when introducing them to new light conditions.    These corals are excellent for creating a diverse bottom scape or adding patches of rich colour to the lower regions of a mixed reef aquarium.\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":50224952541239,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20260924-3PNX","price":80.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/ab8b51b2-0cf8-4cd4-a472-ff07158138d0-_MG_5119.png?v=1790282169","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/acan-lord-5","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
