Peppermint Candy Acan Lord – Multiples Available

About this coral

Peppermint Candy Acan Lord – Multiples Available is an LPS (large-polyp stony) coral for reef aquariums, offered as multiple individual frags. “Acan lord” is commonly used in the hobby for Acanthastrea-type corals, which are appreciated for their fleshy, inflated polyps and bold surface patterning. In practical terms, this coral adds texture and a thick, sculptural look to mixed reef setups, while also benefitting from targeted feeding typical of many LPS corals.

Features:

• Thick, fleshy polyps with a full, inflated appearance that brings noticeable contrast in the tank
• Best displayed with reef lighting that emphasizes color and contrast (often actinic/blue-rich light for many LPS)
• General LPS-style husbandry: appreciate stable conditions and gentle, non-blasting water movement
• Prefers low to moderate lighting compared with many SPS corals; gradual acclimation helps maintain tissue condition
• Allow enough spacing from neighboring corals, since LPS can compete and some species/tissue areas can extend defensive sweeper tendencies
• Hand-selected frags are intended to be display-ready; exact number of heads and overall shape can vary between pieces
• Feeding can help support growth and color—many keepers feed LPS-appropriate meaty foods rather than relying on light alone

Specifications:

• Category: LPS coral (Acanthastrea-type, commonly sold as “acan lord”)
