This coral has added a lot of visual interest to my tank. The pink and green flecks stand out well against the background. It’s been growing steadily over the past few months and remains healthy with regular feeding.

I was initially hesitant about adding a new coral, but the Acan Lord has performed well. The colouration is vibrant and the polyps react well to food. It’s a good choice for a beginner reef keeper.

After a few weeks, the coral started expanding slightly. I keep it in a moderate flow zone and feed it daily. It’s now a focal point in the lower section of the tank.
