Tigahboy Posted February 2, 2005 Author Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hmmm...it shouldn't completely dissolve. I sometimes just feed cyclopeeze, but I usually mix it w/ frozen brine or mysis as well. whatever works for you, dude. Link to comment
Cesar Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Well I can see like red dots from the cyclo-peeze but not chunks you know. I guess it worked though because he ate and looks happy so far. Link to comment
Kogut Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Those rainbow acans are turning a bit orange... :| Tank's looking amazing, dude. Can't wait to see that big guy all stocked. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 yeah...it sucks that they are losing the green...funny thing is, I didn't even notice it until you and someone else pointed that out to me. I'm just too used to seeing it everyday. But I dug up an old phot, and MAN! it's SOOOO lost it's color! I think I need to move it into more light. I hope it will color up again. =/ Here's a pic of it as of 12-26-04: Link to comment
lgoins Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I thought I would tell you , some guy is selling acan's on ebay for relatively cheap, Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I don't remember seeing old photos of the rainbow so when I looked at the current photos, I noticed they were pretty much orange as well.. =/ Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 lgoins. what type and where? =) Link to comment
BKtomodachi Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Hmmm... acans on ebay? Now who could THAT be? lol Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 took a dremel to my acan lord colony tonight. Check out the frag on the left side. About 4 full polyps and 2 halfies. everything was going great until my hand slipped and the dremel accidentally mangled one of the polyps on the right side: Sucks, but you expect some casualties when you frag these guys (which then factors into the cost). But I hope all of them make it thru. But these guys are very healthy and the pic was taken just 5 minutes after the fragging. Link to comment
Sushi Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 why the fragging? donation to me? hahah :D or is it the rush of $$$ from eBay? Link to comment

Uchiha - I fragged them for trades. =) I'm probably gonna split that frag into 2 frags. One is reserved already; and not sure yet about what to do w/ the remaining frag. and I definitely don't see a rush of $$$ from ebay. haha. the price it's set at right now is below what I paid for that frag initially (back when there were less number of polyps too)...so I'm losing money as of right now. =/ Link to comment
Cesar Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 OUCH tigahboy. Did you feel your heart stop for a second there when that dremel hit the polyp? I know I would have gotten major pucker factor bro, hahaha. But still looks very good dude. I would buy it if it was for sale, hehehe. Link to comment
Sushi Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 ahh i see get some cool trades then! you know i was joking about the "rush" in due time you'll be in the + range on that auction. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 crossing my fingers, dude. haha...this is my first time selling anything on ebay, so I'm a little antsy. =) Link to comment
BelowH2O Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Its hard to hold the dremel perfectly. I find it kinda takes on its own momentum sometimes due to the gyroscope effect created by the spinning. I'm sure that it will heal fine. Mine flew across the room, and I slipped a little and their doing good, lol. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 Cool. Check out the frag as of this morning. not bad. =) Link to comment
lgoins Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Here are the links to the acan's on ebay. Not as pretty as yours but nonetheless... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4355290460&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4354366857&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4354675898&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4354678357&rd=1 Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 thanks, lgoins. yeah, those are different species of acans as well. Acan subechinata (not echinata like they state) - the Acan subechinatas are not usually as desirable as the other species of Acan (lordhowensis, hillae, echinata), thus usually WAY cheaper.

Cesar Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Tigahboy is that a picture of the coral you had an incident with? If it is, damn that thing looks good. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 yes. =) it looks great already. haha. these guys are amazingly healthy! Link to comment
Kogut Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Any chance the rainbows were dyed? That's almost what I thought when I saw them... :| The frags are looking nice. If you want a frag of that pink/purple acan I have that's now become dark orange/purple, let me know. It's growing new branches out of the top of other branches. Could probably break you off a piece a bit bigger than the blue/green guy you gave me if you had a piece of birdsnest you wanted to trade... My angel is quite enjoying eating my 1/2 dead frag. :| He hasn't even looked at any other ones, though. *Knock on wood* Link to comment

Huh? you have a pink/purple acan that branches from the top? hehe. I dont think it is dyed. I moved it into an area w/ a little more light, and i THINK i am seeing a SLIGHT coloration...but we'll see. =) Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted February 5, 2005 Author Share Posted February 5, 2005 I've been lookin for a sun coral w/ some less common colors. Finally found one! Here's my newest addition up close (a bad picture tho): And some more showing it's great green color! Link to comment
Sushi Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 looking good dennis, lets see some shots of that baby in all its glory next week after u've fattened it up! Link to comment
