How do acans spread?

Do I put them on a rock so they will spread (like zoos or polyps) or are they like a frogspawn and will just do it themselves? They have a skeleton right?

 

Yes Yes, good questions... inquiring minds wish to know.

 

yeah just glue the frag to a rock and the rock will be covered..

i think it ony makes the skeleton if there are no rocks for it to spread on..at least doesnt make as much of a skeleton.

 

All stony corals (LPS and SPS) have skeletons. They grow by building more skeleton by virtue of their polyps.

You will get more polyps as the skeleton grows. As the skeleton isn't alive, it doesn't care if it is or is not attached to anything.

 

My rainbow acan I got had 2 heads when I got it...and I can see 6 more sprouting from underneath. All within 1 month.

 

my orange crushes spread like zoas..but my acans lords grow like a ball...and they are attached to rocks...

just put it wherever u like it, if you have strong enough lighting to that and let it grow

 

so basically I could do either. It can go on a rock, but doesn't NEED a rock to spred/grow.

Cool.

I can't wait to get one, watch them be all gone.

 

Hey, show me pictures of yours while I wait to get mine

 

When my new camera gets here, I'll be happy to.
