It is known for its fleshy polyps and wide range of colours. This particular specimen presents with the deep green colouration common to the species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the wild, Acan Lord colonies form small, encrusting mounds on the reef slope. In a home aquarium, they will grow by adding new polyps around the edge of the colony, slowly covering the rockwork. The polyps swell with water during the day, giving the coral a full, pillowy appearance. At night, they may extend their tentacles to feed. The contrast between the green central oral disc and the outer rim is a well-known characteristic of this coral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor care, Acan Lords prefer moderate lighting, in the 75-150 PAR range, and can be placed on the sandbed or in a lower to mid-level rock position. They do best with moderate, indirect flow that is just enough to keep their surface clean. While photosynthetic, they are active feeders and benefit from weekly target feeding of meaty foods like mysis or brine shrimp. This encourages better growth and colour. Maintain stable water parameters, including calcium around 420-440 ppm, alkalinity at 8-9 dKH, and magnesium at 1300-1400 ppm. They have a mild sting but should be given some space from their neighbours to avoid any territorial disputes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a WYSIWYG item.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42429148790839,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20260903-F7JF","price":75.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/render-32a8f724-bbe8-48c1-bf6c-d140b993130d.png?v=1788467366","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/forest-green-purple-acan-lord-fragment","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
