Star Burst Acan

<div class="more_detail"> <p>This is the ideal range of water parameters for raising Star Burst 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, Star Burst 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 Star Burst Acan. Thriving them with fish is recommended as fish excretes nitrogen that can sustain the coral's growth.</p>

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

<p>Star Burst 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>
