General info about Tokyo Sunrise Acan
The Tokyo Sunrise Acan has a neon green colored mouth that is surrounded with a blue ring with white dots. Its columane are colored yellow oranger to red.
This is the ideal range of water parameters for raising Tokyo Sunrise 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
Tokyo Sunrise Acan Diet & Nutrition
In the wild, Tokyo Sunrise 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 Tokyo Sunrise Acan
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Tokyo Sunrise Acan. Thriving them with fish is recommended as fish excretes nitrogen that can sustain the coral's growth.
Flow / Lighting Requirements for Tokyo Sunrise Acan
Tokyo Sunrise Acan does not need high flow rate and intense light. Giving them moderate lighting allows the Tokyo Sunrise 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 Tokyo Sunrise Acan
Except for their kind, Tokyo Sunrise 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 Tokyo Sunrise Acan
Tokyo Sunrise Acan is purely marine. So, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
Stinging Tentacles on Tokyo Sunrise Acan
During the night, they extend their tentacles and sting nearby corals.
