Asian Acan - 001

Asian Acanthastrea (Asian Acan) — WYSIWYG

The Asian Acan is a vibrant and highly colorful LPS coral that has taken the reef hobby by storm. Sourced from Indo-Pacific waters, Asian Acans are known for their exceptionally bold and diverse coloration — featuring vivid combinations of reds, oranges, greens, blues, and purples that often appear in striking multi-toned patterns across each corallite. No two pieces look exactly alike, making every WYSIWYG listing a unique treasure.

Asian Acans are generally hardier and more colorful than their Australian counterparts, making them an excellent choice for reefers who want maximum visual impact. They grow by budding new corallites from the edges of the colony, slowly creating an impressive, jewel-encrusted display over time.
