Fire & Ice Acan
A variant of Acan coral (Micromussa lordhowensis)
Representative Acan coralphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
Polyps that transition from a hot orange/red rim into a cooler green or teal center, evoking a 'fire and ice' or sunset gradient.
📜 Backstory
A color-descriptor grade applied to imported lords; 'Fire & Ice' is a recurring naming convention in the LPS trade for warm-rim/cool-center pieces and is not tied to one mother colony. Origin is the standard Australian/Indo wild fishery, with the best-contrast pieces selected at the wholesaler.
Keeper tips for this variant
Position under moderate blue-heavy LED to pop the orange-green contrast; low flow and target feeding maximize polyp size and color saturation.
