acans are peaceful
favias are aggressive
both shuold be fed a few times a week
neither needs nor should be kept in high intense light or flow

Direct & intense lighting tends to wash out the colors of most Acans. Especially from MH lights.

They prefer some water movement, just enought to make the polyp skirts "jiggle" a teenie bit.
