Peppermint Acan

<div class="more_detail"> <p>This is the ideal range of water parameters for raising Peppermint 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>

<p><span class="subListHeading1">In the wild, Peppermint 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>

<p>A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Peppermint Acan. Thriving them with fish is recommended as fish excretes nitrogen that can sustain the coral's growth.</p>

<p>Peppermint Acan does not need a high flow rate and intense light. Giving them moderate lighting allows the Peppermint Acan to spread their polyps thereby allowing them to feed. Too much light will cause the polyps to be retracted.</p>

<div class="caution"> <p>Except for their kind, Peppermint 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>

<div class="acclimation_process"> <p>Peppermint Acan is purely marine. So, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 s<span class="subListHeading1">pecific gravity.</span></p> </div>
