Tigahboy Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 Oh, and there was a x-mas colored red and green acan lordhowensis up for auction a couple of days ago, and that photo was also taken from the real owner w/o consent so ebay yanked that auction off the listings as well. so just be cautious when you're bidding for acan, since they are expensive and you don't want to end up w/ a bunk frag.

Sushi Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 i forgot this thread was here! time to share my new lord with you guys... 11 polyps, some on the back are hard to get pix of, but this is the front of it... here it is mounted i'm growing fonder and fonder of this color morph every day, i can't wait for this thing to start sprouting new polyps...and i'm going to be damn proud when the guy starts expanding skeleton onto the rock that it's mounted to...

yoshiod9 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 yeah, i saw that on rs already! nice piece uchiha! we'll have to trade sometime(i've got hillae, common color lords, echinophyllias, oxyporas...all kinds of rare stuff.). take care of the babies!! Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 yoshio, lookin forward to seeing your blue echinophyllia. My hot pink echinophyllia is still a blob (small frag). what's the growth rate on these echinos in comparison to the acan? I mounted my rainbow acan echinata to a dead chalice skeleton last week. It's starting to encrust onto the skeleton now! Check out this pic: I think it will look cool when it fully covers the circular chalice skeleton. acan frisbee. Link to comment
Sushi Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 awesome!!!!! in a few more months it'll be ripe enough for you to frag it... (for me) *hint hint* ;) j/k Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 haha. word. when it covers the skeleton, I think I'd feel more comfortable fragging it ...maybe. Link to comment
jaykay Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Just me, but I can't understand why you all would pay too much for an acan, when you can get SO MUCH MORE of other fascinating things. But thats just me. Trying to comprehend. hehe Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 blah. is this related to that article? haha. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 Why do some folks buy Honey Nut Cheerios and pay $5 per box when they could buy the grocery store's brand "Honey Nut Rings" for half the cost? Why do some folks pay $100 for a mint condition comic book from the 1950's when they could take that money and buy 50 nice brand spankin' new comic books? Sometimes you feel like a nut; sometimes you don't. Almond Joy's got nutz; Mounds don't. Link to comment

Cesar Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Woooooohoooooo. Nice Tigahboy. Link to comment
Kogut Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Haha. Tigah, that is a brilliant explanation of it. Why do I have a 20L full of acros instead of a 40gal full of softies? Some like unique tanks and creatures. The hardcore nuts on here are the ones who spend their food money on their tanks. ::cough:: tigahboy ::cough:: Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 well a homie came over and wanted to buy a frag of the mother colony so I took a dremel to the mother colony, but as I was cutting, I figured I'd just frag some more instead of constantly taking her out and fragging again later. So here's what's remaining in my tank of the mother colony as of now: Link to comment
Cesar Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Pm me about the little one on the right side dude, hahaha. Link to comment
Reefer Addict Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Here's another...I will post more later. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 Very nice. you have pretty decent sized colonies for a nano. =) Link to comment
Reefer Addict Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I'll take a full tank shot after feeding later tonight. It will give a better perspective concerning size, etc.. Link to comment
Sushi Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 yea, in pix acan can look huge! almost around the size of a quarter per polyp, but in real life they're only the size of a dime or smaller (like mine)... but they're still awesomely beautiful no matter how large or small they are Link to comment
Reefer Addict Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 The cerith snail in the second picture should give a little bit of a size perspective. Link to comment
