They think they need desert lol they just had dinner!
I'll be doing a full write up tomorrow on what I've learned with these guys so far to help everyone know the best places in their tank for them which ones grow faster than others etc! But as you can see from the pic they're all super happy and fat!
Also the o es we are getting from alldelight he was only able to get a 2 polyp frag of the first one so he cut us a two poly frag of another really nice rainbow one

Well this morning woke up to a Acan that I've concluded Was munched on by some pest during the night as one and a half polyps looks like it was munched off of one of the sexy corals acans only one affected so if in a perforated plastic bowl for observation! Any of you guys know what to look out for let me know!
Hey guys.
Spoke with Reef Up and I'm going to be selling my spot in the growout here as I've decided to get out of the acan game. Just wanted to give you guys all a heads up if you know anyone who is interested in buying the spot and will know what's going on if someone jumps in the thread.

It was a black worm actually just like was Chris from alpha corals found in his thread it's what gave me the idea to chop up the skeleton that and there was a burrow to the inside of the dead polyp
OP
OP
Always the possibility but at this time none are showing signs so I'm not going to just chop into them unless signs of needing to, most all of the Acans in the grow out have been in captivity long enough that the problem shouldn't be relevant any more
Thanks for all the updates!
I'm a grower for 3 local grow outs and I KNOW its a lot of work and stuff happens-no worries man, your doing fine-IMO

Curious what are you feeding them? And have you noticed any positive results from feeding?

Oh dang sorry guys I've been slacking on an update with the medical stuff I've been dealing with but here we go
All acans are doing great the highlighters 2.0 is in the lead for the most babies with a count of 20 the size of an eraser others have 2-6 babies all have surprisingly held their color very very well a couple colors have faded out a little so I dimmed out the lighting a little buy doing all blue and actinic bulbs! And they're coming back with a vengeance !
Ok but also need to report just a bit of bad news the Acan that had the pest worm in it has passed on I think it was just irritated and enough damaged caused that it was a Loss I feel bad and I'll gladly throw a frag of my own in!
Hey alldelight glad to see you stop buy your babies are doing great as for what I'm feeding them it's a rotation of fauna marine lps medium pellet food, rods coral blend mysis and coral frenzy each one is gladly accepted and devoured however I notice the day after the fauna marine they display crisper colors and are much puffier!
