Well, My harlequin is now being devoured by an Acan. I was wondering if he was gonna survive his little trip into the vortech pump a few days ago. Must have messed the little guy up pretty bad. He was doing fine yesterday.:shocked::shocked:

Well what else do the Acans eat? I'm supposed to get one real soon.

mysis, cyclopeese, rods, almost anything

Mine eat anything I give them. Mysis, Nudis, small children etc...

I'm getting a fairly large (20 heads or so) red one. What do I need to know? No little kids to feed it.:p

Full light? Bottom of tank or middle? How far from other coral? How many types of Acans are there?

[jeremyreef]

they tend to not like too much light (mid to bottom in tank should be fine), the tentacles on mine dont stretch out more than a 1/4" or 1/2" so they dont have to be kept too far away from other corals.
