Acan coral, specifically from the genus Acanthastrea, exhibits several key characteristics:

1. Structure: They have a robust, dome-shaped structure with a fleshy, polyp-covered surface.
2. Coloration: Acan corals display vibrant colors, including greens, reds, and blues, often due to symbiotic algae.
3. Polyps: Their polyps are large and can retract into the skeleton, extending during feeding or at night.
4. Feeding: They are both photosynthetic (using sunlight) and heterotrophic (capturing small prey).
5. Habitat: Acan corals thrive in shallow, warm waters and are often found in reef environments.

These characteristics make Acan corals popular in marine aquariums and essential components of coral reef ecosystems.
