Both are fairly easy to keep corals, however blastos dont always take well to shipping and can get stressed quite easily. You can feed acans alot and this will help growth but they will grow just fine without feedings. I've heard that blasto will eat but neither of my two have ever eaten. My acans will eat a ton! Lighting, nothing too intense for acans, your 150W should do them both just fine(for both acans and blastos). Flow, low to moderate, but not high.

My blastos eat like mad! They take pellets, mysis, brine, heck, anything I put near them. As soon as food touches their outer rim they pull it all towards their moths and chow down!
