Acans and Favias

[stopsignhank]

Are the care requirements basically the same? I can keep acans and just noticed some cool looking Favia at Igotcorals. I looked and from what I see the care is the same, but would like to have someone with real world experience chime in.

every favia is different... a lot of acans are basically the same... but YMMV... try it at different locations, but keep it low to the ground...

I can grow acans, favias on the other hand, eeehh never had much luck except for the Tyree war favia, sweepers/stingers get super long on favia though so be careful with a toxic warfare showdown if placed to close. My little tiny one inch favia use to get about six to seven inch sweepers at night

Bummer. I have a 29 gallons so I don't want to have to worry about chemical warfare. Not enough room. Well I guess I will just stick with the scans.

Thanks!!!!

I had my acans right next to eachother as well as other corals never had any problems....here is about the farthest I have seen them extend...
