Red Acan Maxima

[TayHongSiang]

Yo,

Any brothers have this in their tank? Currently, i placed it on top.

I din feed any market prawns except dosing zooplankton.

Need some advice whether they need special care.

Paid 80 bucks for this acan, size of 50 cent coin and hope it will grow and do well in my hands.

hiz bro u got very nice blue mushies there lehz..

how abt a zoom in pic...

ren acan maxima can b keep the same way as norm LPS...

i tink e diff thing abt LPS is to maintain their colours when they arrive from e LFS

feed market prawns can boost e LPS of growing smaller heads at the side..

nt necessary alot of light is needed for corals to remain bright colour..

$80 is really exp....

Move ya Scolymia Cubensis further away from ya mushies to avoid being stung. You can put the scolymia on the sandbed.

This is a close shot of my acan during the night. Camel shrimp taking a risk by taking cover behind it...haha

Feeding it with zooplankton / rotifer is enough?

It should be enough if done once a week.I thought that shrimp will eat corals?

[jasonpoh]

yes..camel shrimps like take bites off corals.
