Throw a tad of food in there too. They are pretty new so don't know if you will see what you want yet but worth the try.

Mine also have theirs out at all times and even more when they know food is around. They shrivel at night and and probably makes it look more like their tentacles are extended.

I put a mysis cube in a turkey baster with some water in it to thaw it out then turn all the pumps off and spray it on top of it. It works great and could help with the not reaching issue. Then I use the turkey baster to beat the cleaner shrimp away from the acan.
I was going to say beat the cleaner shrimp off the acan but I realized how much of a sick bunch of perverts are on this site.

Hillarious.
That's why I decided to go 'no shrimp' in my reef. I hate beating shrimp off. ;)

PELLETS???? REALLY???? HMMMM...I wonder how I would get them to land on it LOL
HEY...if an acan gets a piece of sand on it....should I clean it off...or leave it alone?
ALSO...BAD NEWS.....When I got home from work today my bubble mushroom was missing
....I was kinda worried about it, ause I could not reach it to reposition it, but when it was still there this morning I thought it would be ok.....Hopefully I'll find it
AND GOOD NEWS.....All 5 Lyretails are out

I'd hit it with a turkey baster to get the sand off. Sand sitting on a coral isn't a good thing.

i use a funnel with a plastic straw attatched to it. then i just toss it in above their mouths haha. i dont feed each head though, that would just take too much time. they start off as real small babies but once they get bigger, the coral stops making heads then build the skeleton, then pops out new heads again. ive been experimenting the difference of growing them on the sand and rock and i get better results on the sand. on the sand, they just utilize it like a rock, matting out and the sand stays underneath them. this way when u want to move it, it just take the sand that its using with it
