Got some acans from my lfs the other week. They were in a lookdown display under a 400 watt MH lamp. Probably don't need to say it, but yes, they were pretty much scorched to death by that lamp. Anyhow, I've been keeping them in my tank for about 2 weeks or so now. What's left of each head is extending feeder tentacles, and I'm feeding them as much mysis as they will take. I've also got them in a shaded area of tank. The color on them when I got them was pink and white, but now they are slowly taking on bright rainbow colors :spin1: score! Anyhow, the heads are looking like they are getting a tiny bit bigger and starting to re-cover the skeleton again, but it is going very slowly. Any advice from you guys on anything else I should be doing? Let me know.

They seem to like mag levels in the 1350-1450ppm range. Feeding will always help them to recover faster.
