Holy Grail Micromussa Acan Lord Colony

Holy Grail Micromussa Acan Lord Colony (Micromussa lordhowensis)

The Holy Grail Micromussa Acan Lord Colony is a premium LPS coral prized for its vibrant coloration, fleshy polyps, and striking multi-colored patterns. Commonly called an Acan Lord, this established colony provides a fuller, more mature appearance than a typical frag and makes an impressive centerpiece for an LPS reef aquarium.

Micromussa colonies grow by developing additional polyps around the existing skeletal structure, gradually creating dense clusters under stable reef conditions. They generally prefer lower-to-moderate lighting and gentle-to-moderate water flow. Their fleshy polyps can extend feeding tentacles, so providing some space from neighboring corals is recommended.

Recommended Care

• Scientific Name: Micromussa lordhowensis
• Common Name: Holy Grail Micromussa / Acan Lord
• Care Level: Easy to Moderate
• Lighting: Low to moderate, approximately 50–120 PAR
• Water Flow: Low to moderate — gentle, indirect flow
• Placement: Lower areas of the aquarium or sand bed
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive — provide appropriate spacing from neighboring corals
• Feeding: Photosynthetic; occasional targeted feeding of appropriately sized meaty coral foods may support growth
• Growth: Moderate under stable reef conditions
• Reef Safe: Yes, with appropriate spacing

Water Parameters

• Temperature: 75–79°F
• Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG
• Alkalinity: 8–10 dKH
• Calcium: 400–450 ppm
• Magnesium: 1,250–1,400 ppm

Maintain stable reef aquarium parameters and gradually acclimate the colony to your aquarium's lighting and flow. Coloration can vary depending on lighting spectrum, intensity, and viewing conditions.
