- Name:
Green Goblin Acan
- Family: Mussidae
- Species: Acanthastrea
- Scientific Name: Acanthastrea sp
General info about Green Goblin Acan
The Green Goblin Acan has a well-pronounced columnae that is colored in a white, blue and violet combination. The mouth has a distinct white color surrounded by a green undertone.
This is the ideal range of water parameters for raising Green Goblin 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 Goblin Acan Diet & Nutrition
In the wild, Green Goblin 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 Goblin Acan
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Green Goblin Acan. Thriving them with fish is recommended as fish excretes nitrogen that can sustain the coral's growth.
Flow / Lighting Requirements for Green Goblin Acan
Green Goblin Acan does not need a high flow rate and intense light. Giving them moderate lighting allows the Green Goblin 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 Goblin Acan
Except for their kind, Green Goblin 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 Goblin Acan
Green Goblin Acan are purely marine. So, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
Stinging Tentacles on Green Goblin Acan
During the night, they extend their tentacles and sting nearby corals.
