Acans. How fast do they grow?

[Ajilon]

I just got a few frags. When I say few, I mean they are TINY!

How fast do they grow and what's the best enviroment for them? Top of the tank, bottom of the tank? Temp? etc?

I have them in a 120 SPS dominant tank. Would they be better off in my 12g nano? It's not as "clean" as the 120.

Acans can tolerate a wide range of flow and light. Just make sure they have a decent amount of flow and a good amount of light. They grow moderately fast.

it seems like some of mine have been growing like crazy while the others are at a stand still

I just bought a frosted grape, joker and nuclear explosion. When I put them in my 120 SPS, they started to recede away from the skeletons and didn't look so good. I put them in my nano and they're really coming along.

What's the best thing to feed them?

Here are 4 acan frags i got 11/18/07

Here they are 6/15/08

I do not feed them directly, they get what they catch when i feed the fish. All of them are on the sandbed of my 75g being lit with a 6-54w TEK T5 fixture.
