New Acan Polyps???

[Nick Rose]

Was looking at my Acans today and noticed something new. I was wondering if it producing new polyps? I got this Acan on March 2nd.

Looks like a bivalve growing der mate

When I search bivalve I can’t find anything that resembles this. This is a clear almost see through.

Here is a different angle. You can see that it’s a part of the Acan skin.

I wouldn’t think it’s a new polyp, best to keep a close eye and see how it develops

it kind of looks like a sponge

Just noticed my green purple acan is doing the same thing. I tried to get some good pictures of it. I’ll keep you guys updated on what it becomes.

Those bumps and last photos look like what mine did and then mine sprouted 10 babies.

That’s what my Acan looked like when it formed a ring of 10 new polyps around the base.

Looks like it's the beginning of new polyps. The skin will grow away from the skeleton and puff up before actually building a skeleton for a.new polyp

+1 on new polyps, they look like clear fleshy bumps for a bit then you start to see a mouth forming then some color comes in, congrats on a new colony forming

These answers are what I was hoping to hear. Its amazing how fast they are growing. I've only had them for close to 2 1/2 weeks.

If they are happy they will explode in growth. Mine started about the same time, its been really fun to watch them grow and get different colors. Here is my most recent pic.

Update @Nick Rose ???

 

[Nick Rose]

I’ll try and take some pictures tomorrow. The green/purple one has 2-3 polyps that have tentacles. The Red one has 4 polyps but no tentacles yet.

If you want them to really grow fast feed them 2-3 times a week.. I got a Acan pack last summer, all of them where very small single or double head frags.

I actually feed them either every night or ever other night.
