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