Bored and I want to look at pretty corals! So in honor of my newest coral, post some pictures of your Acans. They can be Lords, Echnata, Maxima, whatever.

Here is a set I already had. Started with 4 heads:

My newest set:

this is great, the first time I cant post a picture! my wife as been out of town all week with the camera and I just bought my first acan yesterday. yours look very nice!  do they grow very fast or are they slow growers? oh mine are lords I'll have pics this weekend.

They pretty fast growing. I think the trick is feeding them a healthy diet of meaty foods. I feed mine Mysis a couple times a week. I just got a flat piece of lace rock to try and get the first batch of Acans to start growing on that. They don't seem to build a skeleton very fast at all but spread quickly (seems that is how most growers do it).

I like them because they're a really easy coral to take care of. When everything was doing bad in my tank, the Acan never blinked an eye.

ok cameras back

Very nice!

I like the white bumps on the tissue. Very different looking.

wow. they all look amazing. how much were they? and i would assume you don't have to have MH lights....because they are LPS?

The first set I don't remember how much I paid. The second set was $30 or $15 a head.

They don't need an insane amount of light but don't need a little either. Sort of a middle of the road type coral. Same for flow. Timothy keeps his under T5's and I keep mine under a 250w MH.

Not 100% sure how they'd do in your tank. 260w PC over.....a 55g is it? Probably the middle section of the tank to start with and see how they would react.

ok. i will probably wait a while because i am going to order a BTA soon. oh, and if you talk to richard will you tell him that the scooter blenny i bought from him around a week ago died the other day. he is never on haha

thanks.
