Feeding Time in Acan Land

I snapped a few pics of my Acans eating

Nice acans, especially the nuke greens enchis.
How do you keep the tank inhabitants from going over to the coral and snatching food right out of their mouths?

[cpreefguy]

The first one is a micromussa and the red one is a lord. The first time I fed a hermit tried to climb up on the micro, he didnt like it too much since all of his legs got stuck in the micro's tentacles :lol

Hey Sean do you target feed your Acanths? What do you feed them?

[FireWater]

Hey Anthony I can't speak for Sean, but I target feed mine at least twice per week using mysid or enriched brine.

[apedroza]

I have never directly fed mine, but they really do open up when I feed marine snow. I'll try the mysid and brine next time.

It is pretty cool to watch the shrimp disappear and then the coral is all puffy and happy. I was told that feeding shrimp high in HUFA's really helps with growth and color, that is what I have done since I received mine. I usually feed the other critters first and then turn the main pump off and spot feed the coral.
