Green Acan Lord
The Green Acan Lord is a beautiful LPS coral known for its fleshy, rounded polyps, rich green colouration, and excellent presence in the lower areas of a reef aquarium. Acan Lords have been a long-standing favourite in the marine hobby thanks to their hardy nature, bold colour, and satisfying feeding response.
This specimen displays classic green tones that can range from deep forest green through to brighter lime shades, often with subtle patterning or contrast across the oral disc. During the day, the polyps inflate into a full, rounded shape, giving the coral a soft, textured appearance. When food is present, the coral may extend small feeding tentacles from the centre of each polyp.
Green Acan Lords are a fantastic choice for reef keepers wanting to add colour and texture without needing extremely high light or aggressive flow. They are well suited to the sandbed, lower rockwork, or gently shaded areas of the aquarium.
Acan Lords prefer lower to moderate lighting, with a PAR range of around 50–150 being ideal. Too much light can cause stress or colour loss, so it is best to start them lower in the aquarium and adjust gradually if needed. Moderate, indirect flow is recommended to keep the coral clean without causing the polyps to stay retracted.
While they are photosynthetic, Acan Lords benefit from occasional target feeding. Feeding once or twice a week with small meaty foods or quality LPS pellets can help encourage growth, colour, and polyp health.

Although Acan Lords are not highly aggressive, they can extend short sweeper tentacles, so it is worth giving them space from neighbouring corals. With stable water parameters and gentle placement, this coral can slowly grow into a dense, colourful colony that becomes a standout feature in a mature reef tank.
