Do you guys find acans do best on substrate/bottom of the tank?
Near the bottom, mine are on rocks. They pretty much like wherever you feed them ;)
 
bottom here as well. they really dig some leftover mysis if the crabs don't rob them of it
 
Thanks for the input @alpinestar and @Hemmdog. Right now I have just one a little ways up the rock but I think I need to move it as it has about 10 babies coming in and one side is running into rock.

Just picked up my first Acan!
 
So fluffy, gets smushed up against the glass...

Acan
, on Flickr

Pretty generic color morph I think, but it's the first one I've had in my tank and it has three new heads growing in! Pretty happy with it. I was hoping to edit out the smudge in the glass but I don't think I'll have the time before the contest ends. O well lol

Great shots everybody!
