Mysterious Depths, Electric Colors.
Plunge into the exotic side of the large-polyp world with our Ultra Deep Water Acan Coral! Collected from lower reef zones where daylight softens into a dark violet-blue, this spectacular variety (Acanthastrea sp.) has evolved to produce incredible, highly concentrated bioluminescent proteins. It possesses a darker, moodier base tone accented by electric neon rings that pop with blinding intensity under aquarium actinics.

Why It Deserves a Spot in Your Tank:
- Deep-Reef Fluorescents: Features a signature velvety texture and deep-set contrast rings that shine brilliantly under standard blue light setups.
- Ultra-Plump Polyps: Known for inflating its fleshy bodies significantly more than standard shallow-water morphs, maximizing its visual footprint.
- Peaceful Colonial Habit: Peaceful toward other Acans! You can place multiple color fragments directly against each other on a rock to construct a stunning, multi-colored "Acan Garden".
- Low Light Perfection: The ideal candidate for shaded overhangs, cave entrances, or deep floors where other corals struggle to maintain color.
Quick Care Parameters:
- Lighting: Low (PAR 50 - 100). Crucial: Keep it out of high-intensity zones. High PAR will cause its rich colors to fade or bleach.
- Water Flow: Low to Medium indirect flow. Provide a gentle current to keep debris from settling between its polyps without blasting the flesh against its skeleton.
- Placement: Bottom rockwork or low-light sandbed regions.
- Diet: Photosynthetic, but has a voracious feeding response. Spot-feed meaty foods like mysis shrimp or specialized coral pellets twice a week for explosive tissue growth and accelerated splitting.
