What have you all done with Acans on the sand bed to keep them from getting tipped over by Turbo Snails. My Turbos and Fighting Conch just plow through anything. I’ve even lost a PC Rainbow Acro frag due to a Turbo, lost in the rock pile broken off the plug :( .
 
I take mine off plugs and glue on rocks a few inches up consistent with light/flow requirements cause i got tired of blowing them off everyday and I like the look of them there. I also glue them to rubble which is slighly above sand bed and can't be turned over. Doing this you can set up an Acan garden which covers a lot of territory.
 
I glued mine to tiles, I have bare bottom but a wide flat base should work on sand too, the snails just push them a little before changing course
