Just got some Acans for the first time..and looking for some care info

[twiddledog]

I just got my first Acans and wondering if anyone has good hints that have worked for them.

lower light and not an ultra low nutrient tank, IMO the lower the light makes them more fluffy

Like most LPS. Low to medium flow, good light, they like some nutrients so not over cleaned water, make sure you have no fish that like to chew on LPS. I gave my buddy 2 frags of candy canes and an orange acan with 5-6 baby heads on it. Bi-color angel wreaked havoc on those corals.

I have a Moorish Idol and Flame angel but have never seen them nip at any of my current LPS..cross my fingers and will definitely keep my eye out..these acans look really nice.

Thanks

Best care advice is give them to me

Can't really add anything else to what's been said other than in regards to lower lighting they prefer the blue spectrum of light and IME seem to do much better (and look better too) with more blue lighting...
