Acantbastrea turn red

[arowanadream]

Would Acantbastrea turn to more red, I mean blood red color. Does food, lighting make a difference? i really want mine Acantbastrea to turn more red. Anyone? May be we just have to pay big $$$ for it.

You won't be able to bring out a color that's not there.

This Acan can change colors, but getting blood red is very doubtful.

I agree, if the colors not there, then its not there. That being said, I get more red out of mine than they displayed in the LFS when I bought them. I feed Mysis once or twice a week, and keep on the sandbed, under 64 watts PC, in moderate flow. I dont think you'll turn non-red acans red, but, if you do, by all means let us know!!!
