    Does anyone have pictures about how an Acan grows new heads? What they look like and what I should be looking for? I only have one acan head and I've never seen how they reproduce.

    Sort of like like zoanthids of Faviids. They grow the edge like a mat and them polyps form from the mat.

    How long should I be waiting before I should see a new little head pop up? Also can gluing with too much frag glue on the bottom cause them not to grow new heads?

    Are those your acans?! They look amazing!

    Maybe a month or so. If you hand feed the head daily much sooner.

    It might cause a problem until it starts growing on the glue.

    Yes those are mine.

    Thanks

    They grow around the base.
