Acans and micromussa

[PeteTheGreek89]

Hey everyone!

I rly can't find any info on this but I've seen some people say you can but I just wanna make sure first. Can the two corals be kept next to each other with no war?

Thank you!
Pete

Just running through but the short answer is no. Acan Lords will nosh on any other coral like they are candy
Will elaborate later when I have more time :bunny:

Acan lordhowensis and micromussa will be fine next to each other.

However Acan Enchinata and Bowerbankii will not and should not be placed next to either of those.

wow, I haven't heard the name Bowerbankii in the hobby for a few years. Where did that come from? Everyones just been calling them acans or acan echinata's for simplicity.

I also haven't heard Acan Hillae in a long time either.

 

[PeteTheGreek89]

how about acan and blasto?

 

[tosiek]

Better to not have blasto's next to acans.

 

[skene]

Better to not have blasto's next to acans.

That's funny cause I had a large acan lord colony next to a blasto colony and they never once attacked each other in the year that they were next to each other. That is until a bubble coral I had ended up nearly decimating my acan colony.
