Gold Coast Acan

<div class="more_detail"> <p>This is the ideal range of water parameters for raising Gold Coast Acan in captivity:</p> <ul> <li>Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm</li> <li>Alkalinity: 3.2 - 4.8 MEQ/L</li> <li>Phosphates: 0</li> <li>Magnesium: 1200 - 1350</li> <li>Strontium: 8 - 10</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Temperature: </span>76° - 83° F (24° - 28° C)</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Salinity / Specific Gravity:</span> 1.023 - 1.025</li> </ul> </div>

<p><span class="subListHeading1">In the wild, Gold Coast Acan has developed a symbiotic feeding relationship with marine algae called zooxanthellae. But in captivity, you have to feed them with nanoplankton or dissolved organics.</span></p>

<p>A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Gold Coast Acan. Thriving them with fish is recommended as fish excretes nitrogen that can sustain the coral's growth.</p>

<p>Gold Coast Acan does not need a high flow rate and intense light. Giving them moderate lighting allows the Gold Coast Acan to spread their polyps thereby allowing them to feed. Too much light will cause the polyps to be retracted.</p>

<p>Except for their kind, Gold Coast Acan is aggressive towards other species. During the night, they extend their tentacles and sting nearby corals. It is recommended to observe proper spacing between corals. Further, they have the tendency to be overpowered with soft corals and will die especially if soft corals outnumber them.</p>

<p>Gold Coast Acan are purely marine. So therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 s<span class="subListHeading1">pecific gravity.</span></p>
