Favia & Acan?

[Just_Pete]

I have a small rock with a few acans on it and was wondering I add a few favia's to it will everyone get along? Thanks!

From my experience with the two, I wouldn't put them too close together, as the favia might extend their sweeper tentacles which could hurt your acan, and the scans often have feeding tentacles which are much shorter than favias. I would say about 3 inches away would be a safe bet but you can keep moving them closer until you notice one is unhappy.
Good luck!

ARG! I was hoping they would work good together. Oh well.

I just received two favia corals tonight and was planning out placement. For now they'll just stay on the frag rack and I'll monitor their behavior for future placement.

Thanks!
