Hey ive got these 4 acans not really sure their names or anything but the 3 good looking ones started pretty small and have surprisingly grown a ton but the one larger acan (second in from the left) has been curling up and not looking as good as it did when i got it.

Wondering if some acans just dont tolerate high light as much or what theyve all stayed right next to eachother on my rack for maybe 2.5 months and 3/4 are thriving

They are not high light corals. Moderate light with gently flow is good. They do well when fed.
I'll try moving him down lower in the tank. Had to do this with my meteor shower that i had when higher up than these guys. Just figured since 3 acan are growing real good this one should like that spot too.

Thanks for the reply!

I wonder if the color difference in those acans affect their ability to live in different lighting.
