it's not a bad thing. just squirt some brine, mysis, cyclopeeze, or zooplankton at them and watch them grab it. it'll really speed up growth rate, too.

Do you have to individually hit each head or just around about cause it is about the size of a baseball maybe a bit bigger

Well didn't know you had to feed acans but it shut them up so it works for me

man i want some just to expenc...............

Yes and no if no fish nip at them and the water is good they will have them out all the time. Which can suck because it will cover up some of the color. If you get a fish that likes to nip at the polyps they will stay closed. The ones in my display do not open for long during the day because the swallow tail angels come and nip at them. The one in my frag tank are open all day long.

so what you are saying is get a fish to nip at them...j/k...i wish they were always closed as they look amazing...so it does mean that i do have good water quality?

 

[kirru]

mine single acan. lol is always open.. the only time he closes is if i squirt some food at him... i even have an angel fish, pic for reference is below... but the fish doesn't bother it or any other corals for the matter.

Well they kept there tentaciles in for a total of about 30min...and boom right back out

 

[jesspete]

Your bike in the avatar?

 

[jaustin]

mine do the same. I feed them every 2 days and the 30 min after they eat is the only time their tentecals are in. They would eat 3,4,5 times if i let them.

 

[jeep9783]

Yes my bike in the pic...I am assuming they are the greedy pigs of the ocean then
