Rainbow Acan Lord (Large)
Transform Your Tank with a Living Kaleidoscope of Color
Looking for a showpiece coral that commands attention... The Rainbow Acan Lord is one of the most coveted LPS corals in the hobby, and for good reason. Each colony displays a stunning mosaic of contrasting hues — reds, greens, purples, oranges, and blues — often within a single polyp. No two colonies are identical, making this a genuinely rare and collectible addition to any serious reef tank.
At large size, this colony arrives with substantial presence and multiple well-developed polyps ready to settle in and thrive. Acanthastrea lordhowensis is a slow, steady grower that rewards patient aquarists with a spreading, dome-shaped colony over time. It's a low-to-moderate care coral that tolerates a range of conditions, making it equally rewarding for an experienced reefer and an ambitious newcomer to the saltwater aquarium hobby.
