Acan????


Is this Acan?? I picked this piece up at the LFS for $47.00. Someone told me it might not be ACAN. It looks like it has some baby heads on it. Did i get ripped off? The LFS had it labeled "Aussie Acan". Whatever it is what is the best placement for it in the tank? I have a 75gallon with 2 65W 50/50's. On friday i will be getting a sunpod. What do i feed it and how often?

Probably an acan, though indeed there are a few other options (looks kind of like micromussa, but I'm not great with LPS ids), and with that lighting somewhere middle of the road should suffice. You don't have to offer it supplemental feeding, it can get enough from scraps of fish feedings and through photosynthesis, but if you'd like to something 2 or 3 times a month should be plenty. Something simple like frozen mysis should do well.
