Acan Flat?

[pfount10]

Hi all! I got a colony of Acan a few weeks back and it’s definitely not as happy as it was at my lfs. It kinda looks a bit flat.

What can cause this?

Maybe to much light or flow? I feed mine 3 times a week to keep them happy.

Have you tried spot feeding it? My acan is smaller (just one polyp) but I started spot feeding mysis. It gorges itself, gets nice and plump, and now is making a new polyp. If I was more consistent with spot feeding it would probably do better.

I tried doing that today and it ate a bunch of pellets so we’ll see how doing that works out.

Roger that, I managed to drop a few pellets on it today and it gobbled them up. I try to feed them but I think I mostly miss lol. If they don’t perk up I’ll try shimmying them somewhere darker. Thank you!

It is also right in front of an intake so it’s entirely possible that it’s getting too much flow right there.
