    i got a few acros....and on the base of one of them, there is (what i think is) a couple acans attached right next to it. will it sting it? and dont they need less flow and light anyway?

    i cant even tell what im looking ar in the pic, not trying to be rude im just saying. but the Acans will put out feeder tentacles a lot so it may sting the Acro depending on how close they are.

    I'd "cut my losses" & be safe. Cut the acans off & you should have minimal problems with the 2 pieces.

    yea, just move the acans to a different spot if you can. that would be best. acans are a low light med flow coral anyhow. Acros are a high flow high light coral.

    cool

    i was just able to break off that small piece....the acans kind of ripped in half, but i put both halves back in in a different spot. maybe theyll grow back
