what do you feed

cracker642 · 02/05/2013, 06:24 AM

Just got my first rainbow acan about 2weeks ago doing good so far. I have been target feeding him what I feed my clowns. I'm sure there is something better out there any recomedations thank you in advance

I spot feed my acans with mysid and reefroids and seems to be working out fine. I have a couple that like very small pieces of silverside from time to time - but very small pieces.

if target feeding use mysis, if you want them to filter feed from the water column use - Oyster feast, Reef Snow, Zooplankton or my new Fave R.O.E (Real Ocean Eggs)....

What would be best for color?

I prefer mysis, as do my corals apparently.

I stop target feeding and now i just feed my tank H2O marine fusion, it works really nice, and i can see corals are growing faster.
