lgreen Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 so where does everyone usually find there acans? just from other reefers? i saw some acantheastrea echinata on my coral list at work. Aren't those ones ugly though? or are there some cool ones of that species too? Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 well most of those are acanthastrea subechinata (ppl just misidentify them). different than the echinatas. and yes, the subechinatas are usually fugly and brown. Link to comment
yoshiod9 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 nice score dennis! you're making a comeback after the acan warfare!! Link to comment
lgreen Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 thanks! they are like 35.00 dollars cost, so i figured they where to cheap to be good. Link to comment
FAC_WNY Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Dennis....I'm willing to wait until you're comfortable with fragging it. I'm not "reef-trendy"..I actually just think it's a gorgeous coral..lol. Just lemme know if and when you want to. Cheers, Fred Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 you act as if being reef trendy is a bad thing. =) Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 lgreen - i didnt know martha stewart was considered trendy. =P Link to comment
yoshiod9 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 not gonna rival yours, dennis, but here's my hillae that has magically decided to get all rainbow on me. lol. baby blue, green, purple base and slight orange specks everywhere. w/o flash w/flash Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 looks like acan echinata to me. it's starting to color up nicely tho. Link to comment
yoshiod9 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 lol. it might be something other than a hillae...but i'm still not 100% on the species. it's the same piece from page one of this thread(hillae) but now it has some ridiculous colors! Link to comment
yoshiod9 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 weird...it looks like there are frags of the rainbow acan waiting to be introduced to my tank. Link to comment
yoshiod9 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 lol. must've been my eyes playing tricks on me. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 haha. I have couple frags I made for ebay to help me pay the rest that I owe on the rainbow (yeah, I haven't paid for it in full yet. =P. hahah) I already posted the first frag: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMESE%3AIT&rd=1 Link to comment
Babycakes Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 this is not mine but I found this and just had to show yall bc it's just amazing. found it on http://www.cvreefers.org/modules/gallery/album08/265_G Link to comment
Carinya Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 wonder what that's worth. crazy. Link to comment
yoshiod9 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 it's a japanese tank...so you figure around 40 or 50 per acan colony....i counted 18 different color morphs therefore i figure the acans alone cost around a grand. which isn't too bad considering the prices we pay out here for just a polyp of the freaking stuff. lol.
