Micromussa amakusensis 'Rainbow' (Mini/Micro Acan)

A smaller-polyped relative of the lord with tightly packed jewel-toned corallites in rainbow color combos, often sold as 'mini' or 'micro' acans.

📜 Backstory

Often confused with lordhowensis in the trade, M. amakusensis is a genuinely separate species sold under 'mini acan' labels. Rainbow examples are wild-selected; the name reflects coloration grading rather than a propagated lineage.

Keeper tips for this variant

These tolerate slightly more light than big lords; keep mid-low on rock with moderate-low flow and feed fine particulate foods to the small mouths.
