Acan ID please

[Octoberfest]

Anyone have a name for these? Also is there any reason to feed this...it looks hungry?

Generally speaking, alot of shops and hobbyists I know of refer to them as rainbow acan echinatas.

Btw, they always look hungry when they're happy :thumbsup: But will stick em out in a feeding response, like that as well.

Ok well I'm guessing that's a good thing. So what is the best way to get this to grow, does feeding help?

[Justin74]

Yes feeding will be relished and promote growth :)

[Octoberfest]

ok cool, so what would you say as far as feeding, maybe once a week or should it be more? I'm feeding some other corals mysis soaked in selcon, would this work?

[Justin74]

Feed as much as your water quality can handle :) And yes, even without the selcon, mysis are top notch choice :)

i feed every other day. they get really puffy and grow faster when fed

[Octoberfest]

I have a very light bio-load as far as fish go, only three in a 29 gallon tank and I feed them very light and have a good skimmer. I'm not in a huge rush to get them to spread because I'm running out of room...LOL.
