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