Teal Claw Acan Lord

About this coral

Teal Claw Acan Lord is an LPS (large polyp stony) coral in the acan group. In practice, it’s a visually attractive reef coral that typically benefits from moderate light and occasional feeding of meaty foods, making it a good choice for aquarists who enjoy target-feeding corals rather than relying only on photosynthesis. Because “Teal Claw” describes a named variety, this listing is best treated as acan-group coral care guidance rather than a guarantee of a specific scientific species beyond the commonly grouped acans.

Features:

• LPS coral with fleshy polyps that respond well to feeding
• Generally prefers moderate light (avoid harsh, high-intensity placement)
• Benefits from gentle, indirect water movement to keep polyps extended
• Often performs best when periodically target-fed meaty foods
• Typical reef placement is on rock where polyps can extend without being smothered by neighbors
