I have a colony of orange Acans that i got for super cheap from a friend who does not take the best care of the tank. I noticed the potential in them and wanted to get them healthy and fluffy again. They seem to inflate for a short period of time and shrink back up. What is the best way to get them nice and puffy again?

So long as your parameters are good, they’ll shoul puff up again soon.

Feed them reef roids and mysis and give them blue light

That is what I have been doing. So i guess just keep it going and they will inflate eventually. They came from a really bad taking care of tank.

ya as long as your tank has good to great parameters they will make a come back. I would feed them once a week until they come back and look healthy.
