Is this normal for acans to be this puffy. They have been in the same spot for 6 months and just started looking like this. Is this a healthy acan?
Just checked parameters.

Alk 8.5
Cal 420
Mag 1350
Salinity 35 ppt
Nitrate < 1
Phosphate 0

They look fine to me. I'm assuming you have LED's? Do you fiddle with the color/intensity on a regular basis? If so, maybe it's just a reaction to that.

Yep, Radion's. But I havent messed with lights in awhile. Thanks for the reply. Glad to hear they look fine. This is my first acan. So when I saw them change a little I got worried.

Have you tried feeding them yet? Small bits of shrimp, live black worms or NLS pellets should be eagerly accepted.

I spot feed my corals 3 times a week, with reef chili. The acan always gives a good reaction to feeding. Haven't tried anything else. Maybe ill try some mysis or one of your other recommendations. Looks like the acans would probably accept them.
