Acan HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sweat044]

I have had a few Acans for about 5 months. None have grown at all. I am not sure if they are even alive. I run LED's and have them on the sand bed in the shaded area.

For the ACAN experts.

What can I do to help them grow?

Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not sure if they are even alive.

What does this mean? Are they not polyped out at all? Pictures would help!

I saw the ones you posted and mine look nothing like that. I saw in many pics that the tenticales were out on your corals. I don't see that. I have them shaded under LED's. Should I move them into the light?

That's them feeding, is the top one a echinata?

Gotta feed em!! They take mysis down to zooplankton happily!!

Ok So spot feed them. Should I bring them into the light? I am not sure what any are. I got them from another reffer.

Yes give them light! Mine are under pretty heavy light but happy as can be. Start slow though.

 

[sweat044]

Ok thanks. If they start looking white. To much light correct?

 

[09bumblebee]

Yea just let them acclimate slowly to the light. Feed them for a few days to make them happy.

 

[sweat044]

Ok. Thanks.

if your params are good with your phosphate at a good low level middle level to high, and feed on , mysis or some pellets like fuana marine they should grow. ive started out with 4 orange acan heads feed like 2-3 times a week, now I have 20 mature lookin heads.

Ok so. My favia got a bacterial infection. Today I found one of my Acans and it looked like this? What should I do? Should I dip all the others to be safe? Please help.........
