Ultra Orange and Blue Micromussa Acan Lord

Ultra Orange and Blue Micromussa Acan Lord (Micromussa lordhowensis)

The Ultra Orange and Blue Micromussa Acan Lord is a vibrant LPS coral featuring a striking combination of rich orange and contrasting blue coloration across its large, fleshy polyps. Commonly known as an Acan Lord, this colorful Micromussa adds bold contrast and texture to LPS displays and mixed reef aquariums.

Micromussa corals grow by developing additional polyps around their existing skeletal structure, gradually forming dense, colorful colonies 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 adequate space from neighboring corals is recommended.

Recommended Care

• Scientific Name: Micromussa lordhowensis
• Common Name: Ultra Orange and Blue 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 coral to your aquarium's lighting and flow. Orange and blue coloration may appear different depending on lighting spectrum, intensity, and viewing conditions.
