Ok guys I am the new fry in the big wide ocean of LPS.
Mostly asking questions about Acans and Blastos.

Lets say I get in a frag of one of these guys, and I acclimate it like we know to do with a drip to get the temp and chemistry right.

So its now in me tank, my tank is a 29 gal which is 18 inches tall with my 150W MH DE 10K about 10 inches above that, set up the tank for SPS so has good bit of flow on top, but less on bottom.

Where would I place my precious frag, in direct light or indirect light?
Needs moderate flow but not to heavy?

And do I need to spot feed it or do like my others right now which is to stir up all the stuff on the rocks and in my HOB Refuge so have lots of bits of stuff floating around in the water column?

What do you actually feed the Acans and the Blastos?

Thanks.

I feed my acans about once a day. They love little pieces of meaty food.

I have mine in low flow, and about 20" down from a 250 mh.

Do you have to feed each mouth or just a couple?

You dont have to feed them at all, but if you want them to grow faster, then feed each mouth.
