Acan pinching?

[MikeDesjean]

Hope someone has some ideas? Was wondering what my acan is up too? It’s a new piece I’ve had for about a week now. Just started doing this the other day.

It dose not do it all the time, periodically here and there. It will except food and otherwise seems happy in its placement.

Thanks!

Not entirely sure what I'm looking for here...?

I just didnt know if the behavior of the acan on right to be normal, pinched up like it is. It looks like the bottom right is trying to pull it self to the top left.

I didn’t know if it was mad or trying to work on new growth? I just never see the left side pull one side in like that.

If I could describe it, I looks like the bottom right corner is trying to touch the left corner.

My Acans and Micro's do this in response to the light going low at the end of my light cycle, when a fish rushes by or when they are irritated by some unseen force. Try to notice the pattern, check your water parameters and look for too much flow in that area. If it's not all of the time I would say it's still adjusting and to just watch it close

Thanks! Going to keep watching it. I think I may be lights. My schedule in AI prime is the saxby settings and the intensity goes up and down through the day. I will be interested to see if it’s during shifting times or when lights are shutting off for night, etc.

Thanks for the help!

They really do have personalities lol. You get to know them just as they get to know the tank. Then, after a while, you really know when to worry. My Acans were the first to let me know when I had a Salinity crash happening. Did a water change, everybody was happy. Then about 4 hours later, I noticed 2 acans closed up super tight and a bit of gray mucus on their edges. I reacted too late and lost them and a few others unfortunately. I learned a few valuable lessons that day. And the biggest was listen to the acans

For sure. I did end up doing a water change yesterday any way just to clean the sand bed up. So I’ll see what happens. Everything has been staying stable so I’m sure they are just getting settled in. My Duncan I got the same day is being finicky as well. Just starting to fully open a little over a week later so I figure the acan my be in the same stage
