Pink Peppermint Acan Lord

About this coral

Pink Peppermint Acan Lord is a coral from the LPS (large-polyp stony) group sold for reef aquariums. In practice, Acans are prized for their fleshy, colorful polyps and are kept as display LPS that benefit from moderate light and regular feeding to look their best. This listing is most useful if you’re selecting an LPS centerpiece or a spot to add texture and polyp movement to your reef.

Features:

• LPS “Acan Lord” type coral with fleshy polyps that form an eye-catching display
• Generally prefers moderate light, making it a good fit for many reef builds without extremely strong lighting
• Typically benefits from routine feedings in addition to lighting (helps support polyp health)
• Usually does best with gentle-to-moderate water movement to keep waste from settling while avoiding blasting
• Often placed on the substrate or lower rockwork where you can observe polyp extension
• Works well alongside other peaceful reef invertebrates; keep an eye on spacing to reduce direct contact from neighboring corals
