- Name:

- Family: Mussidae
- Species: Acanthastrea
- Scientific Name: Acanthastrea sp
General info about Green Lantern Acan
Including the mouth and the columnae, every part of the corallite from the Green Lantern Acan is colored green with a dash of blue undertone.
This is the ideal range of water parameters for raising Green Lantern Acan in captivity:
- Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm
- Alkalinity: 3.2 - 4.8 MEQ/L
- Phosphates: 0
- Magnesium: 1200 - 1350
- Strontium: 8 - 10
- Temperature: 76° - 83° F (24° - 28° C)
- Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
Green Lantern Acan Diet & Nutrition
In the wild, Green Lantern 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.
Fragging / Propagating Green Lantern Acan
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Green Lantern Acan. Thriving them with fish is recommended as fish excretes nitrogen that can sustain the coral's growth.
Flow / Lighting Requirements for Green Lantern Acan
Green Lantern Acan does not need a high flow rate and intense light. Giving them moderate lighting allows the Green Lantern Acan to spread their polyps thereby allowing them to feed. Too much light will cause the polyps to be retracted.
Caution Should be Taken with Green Lantern Acan
Except for their kind, Green Lantern 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.
How to Acclimate Green Lantern Acan
Green Lantern Acan are purely marine. So, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
Stinging Tentacles on Green Lantern Acan
During the night, they extend their tentacles and sting nearby corals.
