blasto and acan frag advice
 
anyone got any advice on how to make acans and blastos grow more rapidly?


can they be fragged like mushrooms by cutting them into fours in the center.

Feed them regularly and they will grow faster. Don't cut them.

feed once every two days with mysis or cyclopeeze. when they are frag-able the acan is super easy. dunno about blasto but I imagine it shouldn't be much different. Acan frags are ideally at least two heads (full polyps), but honestly they can be smaller. I recently accidently ripped off a half an inch frag that had barely any mouth on it and it's already growing... very hardy coral the acan is. but still, 2 head frag is ideal imo.

feed once every two days with mysis or cyclopeeze. acan usually reacts when I feed the fish and extends tentacles... that's when I feed. no point in feeding if they're closed.

when they are big enough to frag, the acan is super easy. dunno about blasto but I imagine it shouldn't be much different. Acan frags are ideally at least two heads (full polyps), but honestly they can be smaller.
