Every time is see acans they look tight and fluffy. My acans always look like this. My parameters are stable. I have one hydra 26 with UV and V at 70% and blues at 64%. The tank is a e170 with quite a bit of random flow. I have the AIO return going with a random flow nozzle(just to keep the water in the back chamber circulating, sump return with cor 15 (40% or so), nero 5 on random 3%-8%, and jump 2k gyre pulsating -100% to 20%. I know it seems like a lot of flow, and it may be, but I have no dead spots. The acans jiggle/wiggle with the flow. Only after feed mode so they really get pushed around.

Do you spot feed them? If not get a small turkey basted and drop a few mysis shrimp once a week. These are a few of mine big and fat.

I just started spot feeding them again. Been busy all summer. What do you spot feed and how often?
 
Yeah, they go all the way around. I think they are still connected to the plug. Not really sure though. I'm curiouson how they will grow onto the rock.
