lol, i love acans. they grow really fast for me and i love feeding them left over mysis. they also do well when i feed them the lps pellets that i got at the swap.

you feed then??... I dont feed mine at all and they have multiplied. What do you feed them? and how often?

I never fed mine at all. Yet they grew new heads every other week or so.

if i have left over mysis i will use my squirter or syringe or turkey baster (w/e you use) and give some mysis to each head. the love it. I make it a point to feed them like once a week or every other but end up giving them left overs in between.

You can feed mysis, I like to feed mine the Fauna Marin LPS pellets. I take a long piece of airline tubing, set it on the coral, then drop the pellets through (pumps off so they don't blow away).
Ima look it to that...

hah sweet acan! congrats on the 1st piece... they are really addicting to get.. i have about 7 dif acans now... They are really cool to feed. I feed mine 1-2 times per week with target feeding.. ( they usually scavenge for food when i feed my fish frozen rotifers during the week) Using a combination of mysis,brine,cycopleeze, and rotifers soaked in vitamins.. or sometimes i will give the larger heads a nice chunk of krill.. pellets are cool too, just a pain to feed with... my fat hands cant hang... LOL.. anything meaty, my acans will grab the second they smell it...
