Looks like some sort of a pod but its huge? Roughly 5mm body and a couple more with the antlers.
When its swimming about its straight like a stick and then when i hit it with some flow it curls up into a c-shaped ball.
One of the good guys? Can I throw it into the fuge?
Hi, I've been feeding my acan because it gets so puffy and I want it to keep its color since its new. I use reef roids but I want to switch to something lower in phosphate. I noticed after I feed there is some algae growth and I need to control it. Any coral food suggestions?
Got these guys yesterday. I have no clue if i am giving the right amount of flow and would like your help. Its been 24hrs wince adding. This is the coral we got Acro Birds nest, Acan Rainbow, Zoa rasta, GSP. Im the top left we have the outflow that we have faced slightly inward and more toward...

So I have a nano tank that has been up for about a year now, and I'm starting to add some corals to it. My tank inhabitants are as follows: 2 nano clowns, an orchid dottyback, a lawnmower blenny, some snails and a peppermint shrimp. Coral wise, i have a small colony of GSP, two Zoa's, a...
Hey everyone! I'm a bit late on my greeting as I had formally joined R2R last year, but have been a long time lurker prior. I wanted to start becoming more of a presence in the forum and network with other hobbyists as well. I had been a freshwater hobbyist since I was about 11 years old...
I got this rainbow Acan around 2+ years ago from LFS. I was told it is from Australia. So it look like Acan from the beginning, but as time go on it strat to look like brain Coral.
Does this happen to you guys too? Normal?

Is this a particular specie that is little...
Does anyone have tips on maybe better placement or things that can be done to prevent algae grown on acan skeletons?
This pic was taken like 15 mins after lights came on, so they aren't looking too happy in these pics.
But it's something I've begun to notice and I feel like I'm having issues...
I got my first acan/micro lord a few weeks ago. She (yep, my SO has designated this acan a "she") plumped up really well in the first few days, though over the last week or so I've noticed that she's been opening up more and more, with feeder tentacles and the inner "face" (guts??, technical...
Hi all,
I recently bought a new Acan and today I've noticed these arms growing off it that look similar to a colourless Zoa or Duncan head. One of them seems to have detached from the Acan and growing out of a hole in the live rock.
I've never noticed anything like this on my other Acan that...
Hey everyone, picked up a few frags at the lfs on sale, and I need an ID on two of them. The first ones the Favia, bright green mouth, gray/purple ridge with green splatter through it.
The second one is a little acan, purple body with green and a little blue around the mouth.
Thanks everyone!
Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing well. Anyone know what’s goin on with my acan? I’m new to keeping acans so I’m not sure if this is normal or not, i bought this frag with about 3 heads on it and since I’ve been feeding it, it sprouted a couple new heads and it’s been plump and full since I got...

Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing well. I have a few questions regarding the proper way to feed an acan colony. I tried feeding my acans some reef roids but they didn’t seem to like it, they secreted some mucus. I have an acan colony that’s about 20-30 heads, I try to feed them about 3 times a...
Hi everyone hope you’re doing well. I recently purchased an acan colony and it placed it in the low-mid level of my tank and it’s slightly angled. The ones on the bottom of the colony are turning clear for some reason, does anyone know what mag be causing this?? The top side of the colony is...
I was brushing off an acan that is like 50% dead and I didn’t know why it was dying. All 4 other acans look fine. While brushing it off I noticed something shot out of it. Then landed on my rock. It was a worm of some sort so I used a turkey baster to suck it up and put it in one of my test...
Hey everyone, still new to reefing and LPS, but any idea what ID on this recent pick up is? I'm feeling like it's some sort of acan, but it looks different than my other micromussa and bigger.

This Tri Color (or no color right now) Goniastrea was the first coral I put in my tank about a month ago. I’ve posted pics of when I first got it and a pic from just a few moments ago (immediately AFTER spot feeding a few corals reef roids). It has lost all color and has stopped showing its...
Picked up this acan for like $15 and loved the almost pastel colors. Any idea on what type of acan it is? Or will I have to wait till I get more than one head?
