Good afternoon, I would like any help on an ID on this Acan I just picked up. I was wondering if it is safe to put other acans on the same rock or what else would be safe around it. I also have a toadstool about 10” away, could that be a problem? I have a 13.5 gallon fluval. Thanks much everyone.
Good morning everyone. I have a fluval evo 13.5 and need suggestions as to what coral to add next. I currently have a toadstool that is doing well and want to add my next piece. I am leaning towards a frogspawn, acan, or candy cane. All feedback is welcome. Also if you have any other...
Hello, I have a couple frags of acans and it seems like they have closed up the past couple days. Everything else seems to be doing just fine, the acans have been fully open since the day I got them. My tank parameters are stable. The only thing I can think of is I added fish from my QT tank to...
Hey guys just like the title says. My Acan has new fleshy heads all over but the other side on the skeleton this white thingy popped up, it looks like it retracts and is fleshy too, is this a sponge? The other heads are growing great, some of which are smaller than that white thing. What is...
Turning my reef tank into a frag tank so I need to make some room. I would rather have someone local take this stuff but I would consider shipping for the right offer! Excuse the pictures, my orange filter doesn’t work as well as I thought it would! Don’t hesitate to ask me about something you...
I am quite new to keeping corals and reefing in general. My tank is a 40 gallon, about 5 months old now. I recently purchased this acan about three weeks ago. Colour looks great, he loves to eat, but I’ve just noticed this pink fleshy looking “thing” between the polyps on the left side. I can...
Happy Sunday All, I have had no luck with Acans, first one was eaten by a so called peppermint shrimp ( later id as a camel). Decided to give it another try as I love these beauties. Started off with placement on the bed and was doing great, then gradually moved up to my live rock (still on...
Hello,
I'm looking for euphyllia local, in western NY. I'm in orleans county so I'm pretty much right in the middle of rochester and Buffalo. Syracuse is about 2 hrs away, so still not too bad for a meet up or something.
Interested in rainbow acans also, and chalices.....lol
So I guess im...
I purchased an Acan from a lfs a while back, looking at getting more acans and hoping to have this identified to know if new ones can be placed next to it or not, let me know what you think! I was thinking maybe its a lord? But im an Acan noob.
Sold to me as an acan but the texture and shape of polyps to me Seem like it might be otherwise, hard to See with a camera the fine texture. I have acan lords and echinacea And haven’t quite seen an acan like this, I am starting to doubt it’s an acan species. Any help guys?
I got this acan last week and for the first few days it was super puffy and colorful but now it looks like that. I have it at the bottom of the tank with low light and low flow. All the other corals and fish are doing well. My water params are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10 nitrate, .15 phos, 9.9kh, i...
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...
