I feed my acans about 2-3 times a week. Some of them grow fast some don't. I have had one for about 6 months that had 2 1/2 heads and now has 15+ while some I got at the same time only grew from 1 head to 4 or 5...

OK, I'm new to Acans so this question may sound stupid , but here goes. As far as them growing new heads and such, do I need to place a disc or rock next to the colony so that the heads have someting to spread onto ala Zoa, or will the entire colonly just expand the skeleton/rock that it is on? I hope this makes sense.
I'm just not entirely clear on this. I have an acan that has about 5 heads and small heads are forming at the edges of the colony. Will the entire thing just continue to expand or will the new heads need to spread to something else?
Thanks

it will continue to expand, and grow skeleton underneath like a favia or maze, but it will take a long time. if you can get a rock situated in such a way that the polys will grow on it, go for it.
take a look at this green lord i recently purchased. you can see all the skeleton that was built underneath rthe flesh. i imagine this colony was about basketball sized before they chopped it up.

Awesome, thanks. Also what types of meaty foods to you feed Acans, and are they typically placed on the sand bed?

I feed mine mysis and cyclopeeze. They are all placed on the sand bed.
