ALK 7.5
CAL 420
MAG 1420
NO3 2
PO4 .042
Temp 78 to 80
Lighting ATI T5 3 blue plus, 1 actinic, 2 purple plus
I've tried them on my rockwork, and on the sand. They just wither away.
Any idea's from someone who has obvious success with this coral?

Have you tried running the tank cooler? I run my tank at 76, used to be 75 and my acans basically become my water quality barometer along with one of my chalices. Puffy and baby heads sprouting. Had to move a colony because my RBTA split and one decided to move into the cave behind one of my acans and started to kill it.
