Regal Acan Enchinata

About this coral

Regal Acan Enchinata Multiples Available is a batch of LPS “Acan Enchinata” corals, generally identified as Acanthastrea echinata in the aquarium trade. These are large-polyped stony corals (meaty, fleshy polyps on a hard skeleton) that make a colorful, textured centerpiece in reef aquariums. Because this listing offers multiple available pieces, it’s a practical way to add more heads/colonies to your display while keeping your coral care approach consistent with the Acanthastrea echinata group.

Features:

• LPS coral with large, fleshy polyps—ideal for aquascapes where you can observe feeding and polyp expansion.
• Generally suited to moderate lighting and benefits from being acclimated slowly if you move it toward brighter light.
• Prefers gentle to moderate, indirect water movement—flow should support tissue health without blasting the polyps.
• Often responds well to target feeding with meaty foods (common options include small frozen or particulate foods appropriate for LPS).
• Works well when placed in the lower to middle zones of a well-lit tank, especially if you want calmer conditions.
• Stabilized water chemistry is important for LPS skeleton and overall health (including calcium and alkalinity).
• Great candidate for reef tanks that already maintain consistent parameters and allow spot feeding.
