Need some acan help...

[FSU3NOLES28]

I bought my first acan maybe 4 months ago and in the past month or so its started to look significantly different. Is this good... or bad?

I originally posted in this forum with pics...

First few months color wasn't as strong... heads looked big and puffy with tenticles
Popping out late at night...

Now I see no tenticles, more heads and it is not as puffy but colors are a heck of a lot brighter!

How is it doing?

Guys said to move it into a lower flow area...

Gonna do that tonight and it should take care of it. Guess I won't need any help.

IMO: 80-120 par (some do like more light), low to medium flow, spot feed. If you have chalices that are receding (Esp bazooka joe) you need to hit with interceptor. Two doses, chalices got better and scans opened up

Moved the acan over out of the way of flow and its looking alot better. pretty excited about all the new heads growing on it!

i also would suggest the possibility of interceptor but only if its needed . first move the coral into lower light and lower flow area and see how it changes . they really do much better in lower light ,flow areas . also on the subject of color and brightness always take into account that most corals will change in color tone and intensity with every single tank that they are put in . you cannot expect them to stay exactly how you bought them as there is completly different water chemistry in each and every tank . i have fragged corals and put the frags into two or three different tanks and they did look different after a small amount of time .and also take this into consideration i use the same exact water for changes and topoff in each of my tanks and some even have a common sump and you still get color shifts which also points at the lighting .
thats my 2 pennies
