impur Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I was out and about this weekend and found a couple nice pieces i couldn't pass up. I've always liked this favia, just never saw it available. Has some interesting palys on it as well, i'm hoping they turn more green kinda like the nuc greens (drooler) And i found this acan in the same tank. Has around 30-35 polyps on it. Got a great deal on this one And finally got a pic of my hermans reds zoos. Really cool red on these guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Cool! I hope everything does well! BTW, what kind of care, lighting, feeding do acans need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 I didn't do anything special for my last acan. Its on the sand, has medium-high flow over it. I have 2 layers of eggcrate over that side of the tank as well as some mesh to help block the light. I'm not burning another coral, taking the overly precautious route. They will grow faster if you feed them, but i just let them eat what they can catch when i feed the fish. Occasionally i'll feed the colony mysis, but its such a pain with the cleaner shrimp. I have to stand there till they are done eating and ward off the shrimp the whole time otherwise he will pull the food right out of their mouths. The favia looked really cool last night, had all its feeders out flowing the in the water. Did the same thing right after feeding. These 2 pieces sure raised my spirits after all the problems i've had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
