Grade A Assorted Acan Lord

About this coral

Grade A Assorted Acan Lord – Multiples Available is an LPS (large polyp stony) coral selection from Aqua SD. “Acan Lord” is commonly used by coral shops to refer to acanthastrea-type corals (Acanthastrea spp.), which are prized for their fleshy, inflated polyps and bold, high-contrast appearance. In your reef tank, these colonies are typically displayed for their textural polyps and as a focal LPS—especially when placed where you’ll see their sweep and feeding response. Because this listing is an assorted grade of Acan Lord, individual frags may vary in exact look, pattern, and polyp count while staying within the same coral group-level type (Acanthastrea).

Features:

• Fleshy, thick polyps with an inflated “lord” look that adds depth and contrast to LPS displays
• Often responds well to proper placement and calm water movement, helping polyps remain open and healthy
• Useful for building LPS variety in a reef, balancing form and texture alongside other corals
• Group-level care focuses on stable water quality, moderate light, and gentle, indirect flow
• Hand-selected among available stock, with each frag’s appearance able to vary slightly from the representative photo

Specifications:

• Verified identity: LPS coral in the Acanthastrea (“Acan Lord”) group
• Care level (general guidance): Easy to moderate (typical for many stable-parameter LPS)
• Lighting (general guidance): Low to moderate reef lighting; acclimate gradually to avoid stress
• Water flow (general guidance): Low to moderate, indirect flow that avoids blasting tissue
• Placement: Provide space from neighboring corals; monitor for sweeper/touch reactions
• Diet (general guidance): Often benefits from occasional feeding with suitably sized meaty foods for LPS
• Temperature (general guidance): About 75–80°F (24–27°C)
• Salinity / SG (general guidance): About 1.024–1.026
• Calcium / Alkalinity / Magnesium (general guidance): Maintain typical reef stability (commonly calcium ~400–450 ppm, alkalinity ~8–9 dKH, magnesium ~1250–1400 ppm)
• Frag size / number of polyps: Multiples available; exact frag composition and polyp count can vary
