Paintballer768, Doesnt look like a chiton to me. Looks more like a clam or some other sort of thing. It just sits in the same place ever since i have it. And opens it shell a tiny bit to i guess filterfeed ? I dunno. It has never eaten anything and i see it close and open its shell sometimes.
Weird, not quite sure what it could be then. It was worth a shot though. I havent posted because Ive been sidetracked lately with lots of other things going on, but its good to be back and reading the forums again. I love the tank, and the acans were a steal for $40. My LFS sells Acanthstrea lordhowensis for about $250 and the same size as yours. If you frag, put me on the list too!

Thanks Peef and Paintballer768 for the comments, Yeah peef i love zoos. I think with this tank i am gonna have majority of zoos and i have started to love these acans too. AWESOME CORALS AND THEY LOVE TO EAT. I love corals that you can spot feed and watch them eat the food. Its awesome experience to watch that. They are very slow feeders and take sometimes and hour to fully get all the mysis down but each head will eat so far i fed one of them about 4 large mysis and it ate em all with no problem. Looked all puffy and nice afterwards but my camera was dead so no pics 
But i will get my new zoos in Tuesday so i am hoping they were some good finds. You never know what ya getting when you ordering online so hopefully they do me right or i'ma be very upset. Some updated pics later

Yeah Paintballer768, This acan looks awesome right after it has eaten. The tentacles are visible and its just amazing. I have never seen on that has eaten or eating anything either. Guess people think those are ugly pictures but i think its nice and different to see how the different corals eat and how they consume the food. The acans you just see it slowly going into the crevices and then you see the mouths appearing. Its pretty neat. Well thanks for the comments.

Yeah thanks 4 tha comment NWDYR, I always hope to think im doing something right. I might have messed up tonight though. Tried feeding it after i done turned the lights on and i like to leave the room dark and not bother the tanks after i turn out the lights and jsut leave the moonlights on. Well after i turn the ph's back on it seems like my tank is low on freaking water. So i have to add 2 more cups of saltwater to get it back to level like it was and then i got worried that i might have added too much salt so i added 2 cups of RO water to make it even hopefully. DO YOU THINK ADDING THAT RO WATER WILL MESS UP MY WATER QUALITY ? I dont have any way to test it at the moment because my salinty test thing i let someone borrow It should be ok tHOUGH RIGHT ? I SURE hope i can get an answer from someone cause im worried about it.

oK so i was looking at the tank wit my red flashlight and seen some isopods eating on a mysis that i tried to feed my acans tonight but i guess it got away from the acans and they found em a easy meal. Look near the center of this zoa branch. NIGHT TIME SHOTS TAKEN WITH FLASH. SORRY IF ITS BRIGHT.
![](http://" alt=)
oH AND i got these isopods everywhere. and i think live mysis shrimp. Dunno where those came from but my clowns seem to love em at night.

Is that zoa getting ready to explode? And yea isopods wont touch living tissue too, so its a great addition to the cleanup crew also. Theyre everywhere so almost nothing goes to waste.
And is that a majano anemone right in the middle of the zoas to the left topish?

That thing getting ready to explode is the same as that thing you think is a majano, i Dunno what they are. There are 4 of them and they dont seem to bother the zoas at all. My Sexy Shrimp seem to like them as well and will actually sit in the middle of em. And at night they close up like that. I DUNNO WHAT THEY ARE. No one has ever been able to really tell me definitively.

Sorry I didn't get to ya sooner Bro! my knee locked up AGAIN
at the Doc's yesterday and today , anyway...... I don't think that RO water thing was a problem at all. Are those part of that zoa order we were talkin about??? if so you did real good!! those look awesome
I may have to look into that myself! I just got some new bubbles today and some more little frog spawns. I will hopefully be able to post new pic's soon. My new light should be in tomorrow
2 1/2 days of darkness and I added like 400.00 worth of coral
god I hope the darkness don't freak them out. If anything dies , you will hear me crying from your house
when are the rest of those zoa's supposed to come in ?

No thats just something i got today at the lfs to satisfy my coral buying addiction, particularly ZOANTHIDS. AHHHH. They are SO ADDICTIVE. WHY. IS THERE A CLINIC THAT CAN HELP ? LOL. Whats up homie ? Thanks for commenting on my zoos finally you say they are nice looking. Usually you are just saying good pics , nice pics, nice tank bla bla bla. I LIKE TO see someone actually say NICE ZOOS. Nice selection. Well i got those at the LFS if i didnt say yet for 20 bucks. Hope to have some better pics tomorrow as i took those pics just about as soon as i put em in the tank. So they didnt have time to really open up. Shipping out my order tomorrow. Went and bought me some Coral dip at the lfs too so i could dip them things when i get em so i dont get any bad little critters. Well hope to see some pics soon of your tank. And hope your knee gets better
