Description
The Holy Grail Micromussa (scientifically Micromussa lordhowensis, formerly Acanthastrea lordhowensis) is a highly sought-after, vividly colored LPS (large polyp stony) coral prized for its radiant, multi-ringed rainbow patterns. 

Characteristics & Appearance

Coloration: Features concentric rings of cherry-red, neon yellow, green, orange, and deep blue with a contrasting center mouth.
Growth Form: Mounding and encrusting skeleton growth that builds slowly over time.
Temperament: Semi-aggressive with short sweeper tentacles; keep a spacing of 2 to 3 inches from other corals. 
Care Requirements

Lighting: Low to moderate (75–250 PAR), under a 14K–20K spectrum to make the colors fluoresce. 
Water Flow: Low to moderate, indirect flow. 
Placement: Lower-middle to lower-third of the rockwork.
Water Parameters:
  • Temperature: 75–80°F
  • Salinity: 1.025–1.026
  • pH: 8.0–8.4
  • Alkalinity: 7.5–9.5 dKH
  • Calcium: 400–450 ppm
  • Magnesium: 1250–1450 ppm 
Feeding: Photosynthetic (relying on zooxanthellae), but growth and coloration improve significantly with weekly supplemental target feedings of mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, copepods, or coral foods like Oyster-Feast and Reef Chili.
