Acanthastrea Lordhowensis II

[Reefmack]

Nice pictures everyone. I caught "Acan Fever" about 3 weeks ago and have added 4. Thank goodness I've run out of room for more - they can put a strain on my wallet! But, these things are awesome!

Here's mine.

Here is an updated pic of this coral...

And a new one...

Sorry for the blurry pic. Gotta get a better one as this is one cool pink morph.

Fabulous specimens All!

Here's a pic of my pink morph deflated from a tank cleaning today.

Some updated pics of this one:

And some new ones. Ignore the sand on top of them. My hector's goby just loves to sift sand over them.

Fabulous additions Seafansar!

Thanks! I with my first one would grow more of a skeleton already. It just keeps growing new heads. The heads keep getting smaller and smaller so more can fit!
Did you notice that the one head on the left has two mouths?

Nice acan morphs. From the pics, it looks like you may want to get a handle on the flatworm outbreak. They can irritate the polyps and keep them from opening fully.

here's a pic of my first Acan colony. I picked it up last week. I'm going to give it a month or so, and add a few more.

Beautiful stuff here!

Yeah, I know. I have a few wrasses that are keeping the population somewhat under control. So far I haven't seen any flatworms actually crawling on any corals, but when I move in a few months I plan on dipping all my rock in flatworm exit.

Way cool 1st addition FP!

Nice dmyers! I really like the second one. Is it a rainbow?

Update on mine, I unfortunately lost all but two of my original ones. Partly from the flatworm problem, which is now fixed, but mostly cause my peppermint shrimp decided acans tasted yummy. I didn't figure out what was going on until too late.

But I've moved, bought a new tank, and new acans. Here's some pics:

I know it's not an acan lord, but I just wanted to show it off too. :square:

Sorry for the blurry pic. This one was looking so cool, bright red with blueish white edges. The peppermint shrimp almost killed it too, but I saw one eating it one day and put it in another tank. It's recovering well.

You can see the peppermint shrimp got to this one too, but it's doing good now.

Stumbled on to this thread and thought I should share...

Going shopping for some more frags this weekend!
