feeding acan
I just got this orange (crush?) Either way it's kind of rounded and I can't get it to fully open. I've been trying my mysis/cyclopeeze mix. Any suggestions?

I syringe feed all of mine with cyclops, i cut the tank off and target feed them. I feed them soacked shrimp pellets as well, my growth rate is very good

Wait until it extends feeders after lights out.

So far I've tried all of that. I always target feed with a syringe, with all the powerheads off. The tentacles don't really seem to be coming out at night even with the current off. I always have to target feed my sps after the lights go out or else my achilles and sailfin make a mess out of everything.

Jim i have gotten acans and it has taken a few of them two weeks to fully open and start feeding properly. I have noticed if i dump soaked and crushed shrimp pellets in the tank it drives them crazy and feeding tentacles come out on everything. They seem to love those. Most of the time i syringe feed individually cyclops and oyster eggs, but they do go nuts when shrimp pellets hit the water.

I've been trying to feed it with a small pipette. I find you can control it a lot better then with a syringe. Some of the polyps have responded and are starting to eat. What specifically is "shrimp pellets". Is there a specific brand?

when you prepare the food, let it sit in some tank water and if you have it seclone (i get a great reaction from all my corals when the smell that stuff)
then after its nice and mushy, drain a lil bit of the water the stuff was sitting in into your tank. the funky smell should excite all the corals to open, before you actually put food in
