    For all of you acan growers, do you notice that they constantly have feeding tentacles out? the polyps on mine are huge but I rarely see the tentacles retracted unless it is right after a feeding. I also spot feed them every other day. I just didn't know if this was normal?

    I have a mini colony and they always have their tentacles out and they sure do eat a ton

    Mine are always hungry. Just like my teenage boys. Lol. Sound healthy to me.

    Most pics I have seen from online vendors seem to never have tentacles out.
    Worried about the teenage boy comment. My son is only 5 but thanks for the warning. Hungry=healthy!

    I have 1 acan and it's feeder tentacles are out 24/7 I think it's normal. It just sprouted 4 new heads recently also which is quite fun to see :)
