What do you feed your acans?

Just trying to figure out what to feed my acans.

[Scutterborn]

Generally mine feed on small meaty bits

Mysis or frozen brine shrimp

[Louis-210]

OK cool, and I read on here at night or when the lights are off is the best time.

[Fracture]

Yep

[Louis-210]

Sounds good thanks for the info.

[Louis-210]

Sorry one more question. Do you yall feed daily ?

[Fracture]

Little trick I do is feed a little coral frenzy for my filter feeders so that it wakes everything up so feeding is easier

[koa25]

I feed mysis and spot feed about 2 or 3 times a week as well as fuel twice a week.

I don't target feed mine much, but if they are open with their feeders out, they will take the food right away. Even if their tentacles are not out, they will usually still take it. I usually defrost a cube of frozen mysis and use that with a turkey baster.

Yes sir, at night.... Low flow..


i cut off my pumps so stuff doesn't just get blown every where. I will target feed some sps with coral frenzy or reef roids to really wake everything up... But it's not necessary but it works....


Been trying to get some Lps pellets from fauna marine...

We direct feed maybe 3 times a week. Fish Flakes w/ Frenzy and a lil bit of tank water in a cup till you get a semi pasty form and direct feed with baster & pumps off. They love this stuff even the zoas like it. :)

I've had mine for about 4 months and I haven't target feed them at all. They eat what ever floats by. They have grown from 3 heads to 7 already.
