Rainbow Peppermint Acan Lord

About this coral

Rainbow Peppermint Acan Lord is a colorful LPS (large polyp stony) coral commonly kept by hobbyists as an eye-catching, feeding-based centerpiece on the reef tank rockwork. While its exact scientific identity isn’t verified here, it is generally treated in aquariums like other acan-type LPS: moderate light, gentle to moderate flow, and regular target feeding to support growth and polyp extension.

Features:

• LPS coral form with fleshy polyps that respond well to routine feeding
• Moderate lighting requirement compared with many photosynthetic-demanding corals
• Benefits from gentle to moderate water movement to keep detritus from settling on the tissue
• Practical choice for aquarists who enjoy target-feeding meaty foods to help LPS thrive
• Works well on stable, well-established live rock where it can form a long-term mount

Specifications:

• Group: LPS coral (Acan-type)
• Lighting: Moderate light (guidance for acan-type LPS)
• Water flow: Gentle to moderate
• Placement: On rock where polyps can extend and tissue is protected from heavy blasting

• Temperature: ~72–78°F (22–26°C)
• Salinity: ~1.023–1.026 SG
• pH: ~8.1–8.4
• Alkalinity: ~8–12 dKH
• Calcium: ~400–450 ppm
• Magnesium: ~1250–1350 ppm
