Hello! Maybe someone can tell me, or where I can read about the conditions under which acanthaster starfish release their tentacles? Mine don't release them at all, neither at night nor in the morning, even though they seem to be doing well.

Acanthasters, like other corals, release tentacles in the presence of amino acids such as proline in the water.

I am adding Polyp-Booster feed, which contains 18 amino acids and 12 types of fatty acids. And the acanths do not release their tentacles... Caulastrea, Trachyphyllia. Could the reason be too long a light day or too aggressive light?

Acanthostrea-Night, in this regard, photoperiod has an influence. Are there no tentacles at night either? And if you put a piece of meat directly on them, will they eat it? If not, then just feed them... a piece of food every day for 15 minutes, until they start to react actively, usually a week is enough.

Okay, I'll try, thank you!
