Acans

I do not directly feed mine most of the time. They will take whatever you feed them though. They can handle meaty food very well and are aggressive feeders. They will try to eat dwarf cerith snails that fall on them.

 

Yes even with just two bulbs if they are in direct light. You have high quality bulbs in the fixture and it is a very good fixture.

 

Haha nice to know my wife cant stand the million snails in the tank, when I told her as we fill it in with corals theyll start to disappear i didnt mean theyd get eaten I figured they would just be out of sight

long thread there what page is your full tank shot with acans?

 

Look at the last couple or maybe 10 pages. I will take a look and try to find where I last took shots of the acans and let you know.

 

Here you go

The green, red and baby blue one is an A. maxima.

 

yeah, mine seem to hate when they're in a lot of light. I don't feed mine a lot, maybe once a week, another advantage of them being on the sandbed, they seem to catch their own food down there, but on top of feeding my other corals various coral food, I'll put a crab pellet or mysis shrimp on them every now and then

 

Awesome thanks for the help guys, do they grow really slow or should I expect to see some decent growth over the next couple months?

 

That depends on how much you feed them. If they get fed weekly and each polyp I mean then you will see babies forming in a couple of weeks. If you feed more then more growth. Otherwise pretty slow if no direct feeding.

 

Nice tank 2in10 I subscribed to the thread I will have to go through it in detail when I get time. Awesome corals and pictures!

 

Thanks much
