Fire Island Acan

<p>This is the ideal range of water parameters for raising Fire Island 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 class="diet_nutrition"> <p><span class="subListHeading1">In the wild, Fire Island 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> </div>

<div class="determining_sex"> <div class="determining_sex"> <div class="determining_sex"> <p>A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Fire Island Acan. Thriving them with fish is recommended as fish excretes nitrogen that can sustain the coral's growth.</p> </div> </div> </div>

<p>Fire Island Acan does not need a high flow rate and intense light. Giving them moderate lighting allows the Fire Island 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, Fire Island 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>

<div class="acclimation_process"> <p>Fire Island 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> </div>
