How to grow australian acans
So I am buying some australian acans and they have 3 head each. Just wanted to know if I should glue them to a small rock so they can grow over the rock and also should i leave them in my main tank or in my frag tank. Any help would be useful. I have other corals like the original mummy eyes, rare zoas and other chalices growing in my main tank but I am now trying out australian acans.
thanks Norm |
You can glue them to rocks or leave them on the sand bed, they dont seem to mind, I have them placed both ways in my tank and they are all doing good. If you want them to grow fast, feed them. I target feed mine 1x a week with either reef roids or frozen brine shrimp (yes, they eat brine shrimp) and they grow like crazy. I got a few in January that were all 3-5 heads, all are at least 7+ heads now and growing like crazy.

I fed mine with small fish food pellets
|
They can eat mysids too...its pretty amazing the size of foods they can eat
|
Feed them a piece of mysis once or twice a week. They will love it.
|
Nice tip I was wondering what they liked.
|
I didnt know you had to feed them like that...I thought they were "like" filter feeders
|
Yea I feed mine 1nce a week w/frozen mysis and they grow like crazy
|
+1 on the mysis. they will eat brine, but mysis has better nutritional value.
|
All fine foods suggested but if you really want to see some incredible growth and PE, try the Fauna Marin LPS.
Best I have ever seen. |
All these methods with get them to grow alot of fleshy polyps. You need to dose 2 part or Calcium Reactor to get these corals to grow Skeleton!! I added a Calcium reactor to my system, and with in 4 weeks I could see visible skeletal growth. Just my 2 cents.
