Ricordea and acan issues

[Jon.peak]

I have a fully stocked reef tank with softies, LPS, and SPS. Everything is growing and looking great besides my acans and ricordeas. I cant seem to figures out the issue. With everything else doing great what could be the issue.

Are you feeding the acans? What about dosing invert food?

Are any of your other lps stinging them at night? some can have larger tentacles then what you see during the day.

what position in your tank are your ric's/acans? what lighting/flow?

Ya i feed them here and there... But the issue is they are never open.... always retracted.... Not dosing invert food.... what do you think is good....

Nothing is stinging them. The Acans are always retracted. Ricds... have been moved all over the tank... same with the acans

both corals can take a few days to get used to a new spot even up to a week..pick a spot with medium flow and medium light (depending on your set up) and leave them be for a week and then see. Constant movement might be an issue. Also not all acans inflate a whole lot..pics would help.

Or it could be a water chemistry problem... What are your parameters?

well rics and acans are low flow and sence you have sps your water is good im guessing well hope mushrooms dont like perfect water i know that but the acans im not sure about put them both in low light and low flow see how they do

I've seen acan's handle extreme flow in person, but shrooms maybe not.
