Acan Lords are a long-standing favourite in the marine hobby, known for their large rounded polyps, hardy nature, and wide range of colour combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"352\" data-end=\"698\"\u003eThis colony displays a classic red and green pattern, giving it a bold contrast that stands out beautifully on the sandbed or lower rockwork. Each individual polyp has its own circular shape and mouth, creating a textured, organic look across the colony. When happy, the polyps inflate during the day, giving the coral a full, healthy appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"700\" data-end=\"1047\"\u003eAcan Lords are relatively slow-growing corals that gradually encrust and expand over time. At night, or when food is present in the water, they may extend short feeding tentacles from the centre of each polyp. This feeding response makes them a rewarding coral to keep and a great choice for reef keepers who enjoy target feeding their LPS corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1049\" data-end=\"1384\"\u003eRed \u0026amp; Green Acan Lord Colonies prefer low to moderate lighting, with a PAR range of around 50–150. Placement is best on the sandbed or lower rockwork, where the coral can receive gentle lighting and avoid excessive intensity. Strong light can cause stress or colour loss, so it is best to start them low and adjust carefully if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1386\" data-end=\"1631\"\u003eGentle to moderate indirect flow is ideal. The flow should be enough to keep the coral clean, but not so strong that the fleshy polyps stay retracted. Like most LPS corals, stable water parameters are key to long-term health, colour, and growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1633\" data-end=\"1863\"\u003eAlthough Acan Lords are photosynthetic, they benefit from occasional target feeding. Feeding once or twice a week with small meaty coral foods or dedicated LPS pellets can help encourage growth and maintain strong, healthy polyps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1865\" data-end=\"2245\"\u003eCare Level: Easy to Moderate\u003cbr data-start=\"1893\" data-end=\"1896\"\u003eCoral Type: LPS Coral\u003cbr data-start=\"1917\" data-end=\"1920\"\u003eLighting: Low to Moderate, 50–150 PAR\u003cbr data-start=\"1957\" data-end=\"1960\"\u003eFlow: Gentle to Moderate, indirect\u003cbr data-start=\"1994\" data-end=\"1997\"\u003ePlacement: Sandbed or lower rockwork\u003cbr data-start=\"2033\" data-end=\"2036\"\u003eTemperament: Semi-aggressive\u003cbr data-start=\"2064\" data-end=\"2067\"\u003eFeeding: Photosynthetic, benefits from target feeding\u003cbr data-start=\"2120\" data-end=\"2123\"\u003eSalinity: 1.024–1.026 SG\u003cbr data-start=\"2147\" data-end=\"2150\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eTemperature: 24–26°C\u003cbr data-start=\"2170\" data-end=\"2173\"\u003eAlkalinity: 8–12 dKH\u003cbr data-start=\"2193\" data-end=\"2196\"\u003eCalcium: 400–450 ppm\u003cbr data-start=\"2216\" data-end=\"2219\"\u003eMagnesium: 1300–1400 ppm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2247\" data-end=\"2470\"\u003eAcan Lords are generally manageable in mixed reef aquariums, but they can be semi-aggressive and may extend short sweeper tentacles. Leave a few inches of space around the colony to prevent contact with neighbouring corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2472\" data-end=\"2677\"\u003eWith its bold red and green colouration, fleshy polyp structure, and reliable reef appeal, the Red \u0026amp; Green Acan Lord Colony is an excellent choice for adding colour and texture to a stable marine aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43187570081869,"sku":null,"price":134.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/2180\/0269\/files\/Untitleddesign_52_ed94f8c9-6763-42ae-bf65-bbfac58f6e40.png?v=1782887891","url":"https:\/\/simplyfish.store\/products\/red-green-acan-lord-colony","provider":"Simply Fish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
