fishfood Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 So where are you guys finding the better looking Acans these days. I have nothing lfs wise that caries anything decent looking. I just set up my tank and have no plans on adding anything until after the new year but planned on going heavy on the Acans. 1 Quote Link to comment

Online wise Diver's Den has some nice ones, you pay for the experience and proper handling: http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/CatDisplay.cfm?c=2733+8&count=85&s=nlh&r= Anyone here like to chip in? Bunster, awesome f-cking pics man 1 Quote Link to comment
fishfood Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 For some reason those Diver Den ones just don't look right with the lighting in those pictures. I'm in Alabama and I have one store that will get some in every now and then but their frag prices seem to be half as much as an entire colony from DD. I've kept my eye on Austin Aqua Farm a few years back before I took my tank down. Just cycling and modding an old biocube 14 that I hope to stock with Acans and or zoanthids... probably both. LFS has a very nice gold maxima that I don't see them selling anytime soon either. 1 Quote Link to comment

Spencer7 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 I have a little topic for discussion: What is the largest or weirdest thing you've seen your acan eat? 1 Quote Link to comment
Sunstar Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 zombie thread? Perhaps... but it exists and so do my acans. I got an acan back just before chrisdtmas. it was a very new frag, not yet healed. Well about 2 months later, it has healed well, three partial heads have healed into whole heads, and I spotted 7 brand new heads growing at the bases of the frag. It came in from australia. I believe it was harvested from the sea. Colours in my pic suck, but they include: Red in the ring, hot pink on the mouth going into orange and yellow and some green. 3 Quote Link to comment
tetraodon Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 love all these acans, what is the best light level have you found 1 Quote Link to comment
AlejandroDelRey Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Finally a member of the club My first acan! Any tips on how to keep the neon pink color from changing? 2 Quote Link to comment
YaBoyLaj Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Finally a member of the club My first acan! Any tips on how to keep the neon pink color from changing? Damn thats sick as hell As for the color, I don't have enough can experience to give you a solid answer. Mine are a deep orange and all I do is keep them fed with 8.5 hours of light a day (using kessil a160we) Quote Link to comment
Hexadron Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Finally a member of the club My first acan! Any tips on how to keep the neon pink color from changing? To be honest it looks slightly bleached. It should deepen in colour with proper lighting and parameters. Quote Link to comment
circusordie16 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 agree with jdh. it wont be as "hot pink" but it will darken up and have more vivid colors. Quote Link to comment
Spencer7 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Unless he goes the Zeovit style of husbandry, where the corals are somewhat intentionally malnourished so you can get more pastel coloration, but I'm not sure I've seen that done with acans. Nice piece! Quote Link to comment

Nice piece! Yup, it was bleached. The polyps at the very top are slowly starting to turn orangeish. Not upset tho, just happy that they're puffed up and healthy :-) Cleaner shrimp always photo bombing And stealing food! 1 Quote Link to comment
North Borders Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hah, my cleaner will hop on my hand and go for a ride when I'm feeding the tank or doing stuff in there. I usually have to 'park' him on the opposite side of the tank and give him a gob of food to occupy him and then go feed the acans, otherwise he's a dirty little thief! 2 Quote Link to comment
Droy008 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 One of my acans has also seemed to be "bleached", however it looks to be adding about 4 new heads, so i'm mildly confused. Here's another view 2 Quote Link to comment

Here's another view Weird. Too much light? Seems the ones on the bottom have more color. Do you feed them? Anything changed recently? I lost one finally to bjd,but haven't seen this (yet - my 3 will probably bleach tonight now). 1 Quote Link to comment

I lost one finally to bjd,but haven't seen this (yet - my 3 will probably bleach tonight now).Not a lot of changes lately.However after an alkalinity issue involving kalkwasser. They have been more stressed. It's interesting to because the others are growing rapidly, and they all stay big and fluffy. (That picture was taken in the morning) 1 Quote Link to comment
