Mystery Machine Aussie Lord
A variant of Acan coral (Micromussa lordhowensis)
Representative Acan coralphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
A standout Aussie *Micromussa lordhowensis* in which **every single polyp carries a full rainbow** of green, teal, orange, red and blue concentric rings. One of the more recognizable named Aussie lords in the hobby.
📜 Backstory
Sold by **World Wide Corals (WWC)** as part of their **'Vic's Picks'** line — corals hand-selected by Vic, one of WWC's founders, from the company's 30,000-gallon Florida farm. WWC's listing describes it as a rainbow-in-every-polyp Aussie lord offered as small WYSIWYG frags. It is a wild-collected Australian *M. lordhowensis* selected for that pattern; the original wild colony's collector is not publicly documented, so the exact wild lineage is origin debated.
Keeper tips for this variant
Keep it on the sandbed or a low shelf at roughly 100-150 PAR with gentle, alternating flow so the fleshy polyps stay fully inflated. Like all acans it prefers lower light and will morph toward solid red under intense lighting, so favor a bluer spectrum and moderate intensity. Target-feed small meaty foods about once a week.
