Micromussa is a coral staple in the world of reef-keeping. Even though you will often hear them referred to as acanthastrea or “Acans” for short, Micromussas were reclassified in 2016.

The two common species typically seen in the reef-aquarium hobby are Micromussa Lordhowensis and Micromussa Amakusensis, abbreviated to lords and micros. The main visual difference between these two species is the polyp size. The lord’s polyps are much larger in comparison to Micromussa Amakusensis.

Micromussa does best in a low light environment. Intense lighting is known to morph the color of Micromussa, producing a dominant red or orange coloration. A stronger blue light spectrum can help prevent rainbow varieties from color morphing.

Place your Micromussa on the sand bed or in the lower to mid-portion of your aquarium. You want to ensure these corals are provided with just enough flow, preventing debris and detritus from settling on them.

A creative way to display your micromussas is by creating a small island or “garden” of just this species. The multitude of colors and patterns will create a jaw dropping center piece.

Tentacle extension indicates your coral's desire to capture food. Micromussa eagerly consume any food they can trap with their tentacles. They benefit from target feeding and enjoy meaty frozen foods as well as small digestible pellets. Promoting new polyp development and faster growth. Here at Top Shelf we see best results using a mixture of PE Mysis, Fauna Marin LPS Pellets, and Benepets.

Micromussa corals are a great addition to the reef-aquarium because of their less demanding care requirements and vast variety of colorations and patterns. Making them highly desirable and collected by hobbyists of all experience levels.
