Zoom Acan Enchinata

About this coral

Zoom Acan Enchinata Multiples Available is a listing for Acanthastrea echinata (often sold under the “acan/en chinata/echinata” trade naming) LPS coral frags. Acans are prized for their fleshy, “mouth” polyps and their willingness to respond to feeding, making them a popular choice for aquarists who want an LPS that typically does well in gentler lighting and can be spot-fed for best color and condition. Since this listing offers multiple available specimens, each frag may look different, but the animal group-level care guidance below applies to Acanthastrea echinata as a general profile.

Features:

• LPS coral type (Acanthastrea echinata) known for polyp inflation and active feeding behavior

• Appreciates gentle to moderate water flow to keep conditions stable without blasting tissue

• Works well as a focal LPS when placed in an open area with room for polite spacing from neighbors
