Acans, short for Acanthastrea, are a large polyp stony coral with big, fleshy polyps and some of the most varied coloration you will find in a single genus. They prefer lower light and gentle flow, which makes the bottom of the tank, near the sandbed, a natural home for them. They are generally peaceful neighbors and forgiving of minor swings in water quality, which makes them a good choice for a hobbyist still learning LPS care.

We grow these in our own systems in Warner Robins, and every frag we sell is cut from our own established colonies, never wild collected or bought in to flip. Join the frag shop waitlist to hear when the shop opens.
