Why is it always about you? :huh::o;):D

 

I suppose I wonder if folks get so wrapped up in the various color morphs that they forget that they're all beautiful!

As far as the brown ones, lighting, quality of photograph... Who can say what they really look like?

The crazed environmentalist would say that they colored themselves brown to prevent being harvested by us shallow reefers. :o I do actually remember someone in one of the Discovery Channel's documentaries about the GBR bleaching saying that.

H = honored? That works, hehe.

 

YES!!!!! That was it. Took me all morning to figure out what I was thinking!

 

She who must be honored!! So it honored and obeyed, Hank. Cindy, I'm correct....right?!

That's cool. I think I can honor a lot easier than I can obey. ;)

hi all does anybody know how 2 frag a leather toadstool need help its getting 2 big for tank

Unless a leather is some kind of acan, I think you have the wrong thread.

 

 

Anyway, I think most people just cut them up. Use the search feature on here, I'm sure it's on here somewhere.

I got a couple too. I thought that these post-32810-1215752649_thumb.jpg Were more common, but I didn't see anyone put them up. I dig them. Nice and colorful. post-32810-1215752688_thumb.jpg I like these green one's too. Yay picture threads and posting after midnight. Sometimes, late at night, the pretty colors are all you need! Marvins Reef. Those were amazing. What happened to them?

I decided to let go of all my Aussie lords because of a tank move last December... :(

 

currently, I have a few select pieces but would love to get some of the ones above back... the problem is I didn't keep a list of who I sold them to.. LoLz... here are the ones I currently have.. :D

 

 

Rainbow center, bright Pink ring followed by Red/White outer ring...

Did you sell them because you were afraid of losing them in the move?

 

Roc!, I think theone on the bottom is a Echinata.

My acans have been all closed up for the last couple of days. I can't figure out why, they usually never do. Does anyone have any ideas why?

Do they still look alright? My indo colony just did this, stayed real sucked in, no puffiness at all for about 3 days and then just started looking happy again. Only thing that changed is they are getting fed a lot more suddenly so I thought maybe it was a growth spurt or digestion thing but don't really know. Since they weren't gaping or receding I just left them be but I was getting kinda worried there.

One is open more now but the other one is not. I can see the colors fine but also can see a little skeleton. This acan was growing like crazy too. It had 3 heads when I got it like a month ago and now has 9. I don't want to lose it!

For anyone that followed my other thread.....here is a picture of 2 Acans side by side. One is a little in front of the other but it shows that you can expect accurate colors in the Red Sea lighting. The small frag was purchased in my LFS. The only difference I would say is the purple is duller. Other than that it looks very similar to what I saw there. And they had their lights exactly like the other vendor. So compared to my ugly brown you know what in the back I'm at least glad I have this.

 

This picture is not great. I am getting some extension tubes for my camera today and will get a close up. You can really see all the colors: green, yellow, orange, red.
