Purple and Gold Acanthastrea (Micromussa lordhowensis)

A rich magenta-purple body is ringed in mottled cream and gold, framing a deep purple-blue centre — genuine depth and contrast on this one. Acan corals come in an enormous range of colour combinations, and this kind of clean contrast between body and centre tends to be sought after for exactly that reason.

Care basics

  • Lighting: Low to moderate. Acans generally prefer the lower end.
  • Flow: Low. Gentle, indirect flow is best.
  • Water chemistry: Stable calcium, alkalinity and magnesium levels matter more than any single target number.
  • Feeding: Not required, but will take fine meaty foods.
  • Handling: Generally peaceful, but give it space from more aggressive neighbours.
