How do you know if an acan is open? Ive seen their sweeper tentacles, but im not sure what a closed acan looks like. Other corals are much more obvious. Thanks in advance.
 
They will close up like blastos when they are fed or not happy if that helps at all
 
If they're closed, it's obvious. Their flesh recedes into their skeleton and they'll look shrunken in. When they're happy, they look fleshy and have a gentle sway in the current.
