Acanthos are photosynthetic but are also impressive feeders. They readily accept mysis, finely chopped seafood and suitable LPS foods.

Moderate lighting, gentle flow, occasional feeding and stable alkalinity, calcium and magnesium provide excellent conditions for this spectacular LPS.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Happy Reef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53627177009488,"sku":"THRC-0023","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thehappyreef.com\/products\/green-acantho-48","provider":"The Happy Reef","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
