Acan Not Growing

Maybe wait and see how it does. If it gets worse move it back towards the shady area and slowly move it back out into light over next few weeks

If i give it generous feeding could that help stop bleaching?

Possibly. Bleaching is the coral expelling it's zooxanthellae for one reason or another. It may be too much light, or a parameter out of whack. Hard to give a concrete answer at this point.

There is a lot of good advice in here but I'd like to add something. I purchased 2 acans on the same day. One frag that had 5 heads and one that had 15. I put them beside each other in my tank. The 5 head frag now has 40 heads and the 15 head frag now has 15. Litteraly has not grown a single head. Same light source, same tank, same flow, same everything and not a new head.

Just saying, parameters are very important but not always the cause of slow growth.
