ohaverd July 26, 2013 Share July 26, 2013 So, how does one grow a tiny frag into those large rounded colonies? Is that a large round rock that you mount them to? Or does their skeleton just grow that way? Where does one find such plugs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does their skeleton just grow that way? Where does one find such plugs? I think they just grow that way; at least both of mine have. As to mounting, I used epoxy putty on the base of the colony and put them where I wanted on the reef, and it seems to have worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mling July 27, 2013 Share July 27, 2013 What is the best position for Acans ? Hi or low light ? Flow ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDRDATA July 27, 2013 Share July 27, 2013 I have two colonies, one is about 1/3 down in the tank (standard 75) and one about 2/3 down. I'd say flow is probably low to moderate. I don't know if these are "optimum" conditions, but they've both grown well - the one in the higher light probably a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExoticReefCreations July 27, 2013 Share July 27, 2013 Acans do best in low flow low light thats where you will get the "puffy" polyp extension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djplus1 July 27, 2013 Share July 27, 2013 My Acans grow better in my 14g Biocube with PC lighting at the bottom, rather than my 72g with LED lighting at the bottom. Much better, actually. It's weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExoticReefCreations July 27, 2013 Share July 27, 2013 As far as growing, the skeleton itself grows, acans are slow growers but do grow faster when you feed them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
