Transform Your Tank with Volcanic Australian Color Nobody Ignores

Looking for a showstopper straight from Australian waters? The Ultra Aussie Hot Acan Lordhowensis is one of the most sought-after large polyp stony corals in the hobby — prized for its explosive reds, oranges, and electric contrasting patterns that vary from polyp to polyp. Australian-sourced Acanthastrea lordhowensis consistently command a premium, and for good reason: no two colonies look alike, and the "Ultra" designation means this piece cleared a high bar for color saturation and polyp definition before it ever reached our facility.

Acans are a genuinely rewarding addition to any reef tank. Each polyp expands dramatically under feeding, taking on a puffy, almost fleshy appearance that makes the colors pop even more. They grow in a slow, methodical colony pattern — adding new polyps over time and creating a living mosaic across your rockwork. Hobbyists of all experience levels love them precisely because they reward patience and attentive feeding with visible, measurable growth.

WHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?

Every specimen from The Coral Boutique is ethically sourced, fully quarantined, and conditioned in our Miami facility until it's actively expanding and feeding before we even consider shipping. When your Acan arrives, it's ready to thrive — not just survive.

If this coral is in our WYSIWYG collection and has one in stock, the photos show the exact frag or colony that ships to you. Otherwise, the photos may be representative.

Coral orders ship Monday through Wednesday. We confirm a delivery day with you before your order goes out, and we will hold it if the weather is bad or a coral needs more time in quarantine.

Coral orders over $399 qualify for free shipping. Fish orders over $599 qualify for free shipping. Free same-day Miami pickup is available at 46 NW 36th St and is usually ready in 1–2 hours.

Eligible coral orders are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee. Photograph the coral in its sealed bag before you open anything, then email that photo with your order number within two hours of delivery. Our team reviews every claim and gets you an answer within one business day.

For best results, acclimate slowly and place new corals in lower light and flow before moving them to their final position. Coral response can vary depending on tank stability, lighting, flow, and water parameters.

We photograph our corals in house, up close, so you can judge color, shape and polyp extension. For WYSIWYG listings with one in stock, the photographed coral is the exact coral that ships.
