Feeding acans

[randy4083]

What is selacon and I feed mine reef roids and reef chilli and coral frenzy but just seeing what would be best to feed that's all and I broadcast live brine shrimp a good bit and sometimes frozen foods to but I have the lps pellets also but I haven't fed those in awhile so just trying to see what would be best to feed them that's all

That's pretty funny considering your username :)

Lol!

I picked that username when I was setting up my first tank.

Now this is my two cents so everyone will have an opinion of it. Depending on how large and how old your tank is. I have always found that spot feeding on a newer or smaller tank has kept my nitrates down no matter how much I feed my fish and corals. With that being said I very lightly shoot mysis shrimp right at there mouths so I know they eat. Selcon is a fatty acid for fish food and gets my corals and fish going nuts to eat. I only use a little bit for my coral food. Its pretty cheap and works wonders!

I put some tank water in a cup, add Reef Roids, then add a frozen cube of mysis. Let the mysis thaw in the roided up water. Turn off powerhead, and use a turkey baster to spot feet their mouths. They love it!

I usually broadcast feed them with reef roids simply because I got any direct feeding them, I should go back to direct feeding because they were happier then

I just bought some oyster feast that I'm gonna entise them to eat with and I'm gonna mix brine shrimp or mysis shrimp in it i think and I also have the frozen reef frenzy food to that I can put in the oyster feast

Im feed my acan with mysis. But more faster i use lps pellets.

Mine will put out snacking tentacles randomly throughout the day :3 I shut the pumps off so the food doesn't waste, and gently target feed little bits of the mix my main reef gets: mysis, spirulina enriched brine, reef plankton and sometimes fish eggs as a treat!
Acans are pretty easy to feed and accept most foods I've found.

I feed mines pellets and they grow a head almost every week or two.

Pellets? What type of pellets? Never would've thought about this...
