Do my acan corals look healthy?

RyanTheSquid · Mar 10, 2026

All are new except the one that is not a frag holder on the glass, which is in my care for a little over a year, I have seen little growth on it. But one of the new ones has a head that has more than doubled in size since I got them last thursday.

Good to hear, I guess I just havent seen them as flas as 2 of them are. I'm used to them being more bowl shaped.

Bowl shape will come as they grow. The flattening may just be them adjusting. They'll most likely start curling in soon. Many acans ive seen (including my holy grail) have flat polyps too. Its really random

I'm not oppose to the flat polyps, shows off the color and design well, but im used to seeing them as bowls. Both look nice to me.

A big thing about your frags is that the red ones are single polyp. It may not have the supporting polyps pushing eachother up which im sure could happen

I see, I hadn't thought of that.
