Hey guys, I just picked up this acan frag from my LFS yesterday.. any advice on caring for them and if this one looks normal?
Mine eats like a hog. I feed mine with frozen krill and other random meats......Though these coral act like they will only eat at night, mine will certainly perk up to eating any time of day.Also they like to be fed often
Honestly, my acan extended his tentacles the same night i got him. I went ahead and fed him some omega one chopped shrimp and he gladly took it. Ive had him for a month now and tonight he grabbed a piece of seaweed my tangs cut loose and actually ate it. I've never heard of that happen before, but it did! As long as you see tentacles you're fine. A low nutrient tank will make him extend them more frequently i believe, at least IME. Otherwise he can just filter feed from the waters organic nutrients and still be happy.Haha, thanks everyone. How long should I wait to begin target feeding?
Short is a good description. Mine kinda "blooms" like a flower at night, and the nearly translucent tentacles are highly visible. They will instantly grab any sorts of meat based foods.Okay thanks. How long should the tentacles be? My acans are "extended" but seem kinda short?
To be honest, I don't know.Thanks for the info Squatch! Would mysis be too big for them? Would brine be better? Or pellets maybe??
