That sucks to hear you're thinking of selling. You have such a nice tank there, shame to see it be sold off.

Leave the acans where they are and be patient. That will be an incredible display once they have grown together into colonies. I like where you are going with this...

Thanks Stray32! The acans are def staying put. I am growing them In to make a acan garden. They are all lords so they can touch eachother and not sting one another.

I just had the idea yesterday to feed my acan lords some scallops… So I drove to the grocery store and grabbed myself 4 raw scallops. I took 1 of the scallops and chopped the heck out of it with a knife so it was in tiny pieces. I then took my coral feeder and mixed in my tank water and the tiny pieces and began feeding my Acan Lords. I have never seen these guys take in food so quick! By the time I finished feeding only about ¼ of my acans in the tank some of the acans already took the entire piece in and pushed out there feeder tentacles asking for more…. So I stood there for about 30 min until it seemed that they all had their stomachs filled and their mouths. While I was waiting I had to hit the hermits away from them steeling the food. Then this morning before I took off for work I looked at the acans and I have never seen them this FAT and any time throughout the day! I will post some pic’s when I get home, but it looks like this is going to be how I feed these guys from now on! It did take some time to prep and feed but if they look this happy all the time and begin to multiply quicker than this is how it’s going to be done! Just thought I would throw this out there for any one that has acans and was wondering what to feed them that has GREAT RESULTS!

Well after having this tank posted and some real LOW BALL offers off of CL.... I have decided to keep the $ PIT! I am selling all of my sps and all my Acan lord collections and going with some real nice brightly colored Zoanthids and filling it with almost 100% Zoanthids! I just grabbed my center piece so far of a 600+ polyp watermelon Zoanthid rock, along with a few other nice zoas! This week I'm going to pick up another 1ft rock packed with different colored zoas including some Orange Bam Bam's! I figured this is a hobby that never leaves your blood when you have it in you, lol. Also I may be able to get my baby hotly into the hobby when she grows up! Here are some pics of the ones I just got last week... Here are some pics of the ones I just got last week!
