Full spectrum LEDs and acans

[dan_k]

Has anyone had any luck with keeping acans with LEDs? I have some acans and my LEDs are on the way they are going to be full spectrum just a little worried I might lose some color will I?

I lost color for a few weeks, now their color is better than they ever were with t5. I have them under the edges of the leds on the sand

Shade them so they get indirect light, or put them towards the bottom sides. It seems most acans turn straight orange under too strong light.

Bottom of the tank and slightly shaded like Mnat said. All the acans ive had under LEDS are puffier and much more colorful than T5 or Halides.

My acans seem to be doing good under my ai Vegas ,always have their polyps extended ,little loss of color with ones closer to top of tank but they are growing so must be ok

I've got LEDs coming this week too. Curious to see what this does to my corals, colors, etc. I'm going to start low and slowly ramp them up over the weeks, since I've been reading that you need to acclimate them to LEDs.
