Assorted Acan Enchinata – Multiples Available

About this coral

Assorted Acan Enchinata – Multiples Available is a set of fleshy LPS coral frags from the Acanthastrea echinata group (commonly traded as “Acan enchinata”). In practice, these are used to add thick, inflated polyps and rich texture to a reef tank, making them a popular LPS choice for aquarists who want bold character on the substrate or lower rockwork. Because this listing is “assorted,” each frag may vary in appearance and number of heads while remaining within the same coral group-level care approach.

Features:

• Thick, fleshy polyp tissue with a strong, textured look typical of Acanthastrea
• Best suited to tanks that provide low to moderate light and gentle, non-blasting water movement
• Generally benefits from targeted feeding with meaty foods a few times per week
• Works well on the lower to mid-aquarium rock where you can place frags with room to expand
• Plan spacing from neighboring corals to reduce the risk of irritation from stinging/touching polyps
• Acclimate gradually to lighting intensity to help the coral settle in after introduction

Specifications:

• Scientific group: Acanthastrea echinata (LPS coral group commonly sold as “Acan enchinata”)
