Acanthastrea Lordhowensis

anyone have these? as close to the color as possible... Found these ones at Petco and was not sure they are worth $70. Maybe i'm wrong... Are these the same as reg Acans or they like the acan echinata???
thanks,
Mike
sorry the pics were taken with my Droid...

looks like reg acans to me

seems like a good price

Looks like an acan, not an echinata type though. If the coral's at petco, it may not be well colored until it is under better lighting.

FWIW I thought the color looked good

 

[beckisguy73]

They are under t5's and I know Petco has a bad rep but the one in Leominster seems to be pretty good. They were not even close to what they are now when I first started out in this hobby.. All the salt water stuff is in great condition... Only problem I see is they still stuff way too many fish into them small tanks... But they do have a pretty nice frag tank and another small reef...

They look like acan lord's but they don't look like Australian ones, they look more like Indonesian acan lord's... Just my $.02

I think they said it was 9 polyps... Think it's worth the $70???

 

[frank180reef]

I think it is, hard to tell with picture lighting, is it that blue in your tank

 

[beckisguy73]

Thats not my tank... That frag was at Petco

They have nice color and will prob color up more cause petco doesnt usually have the greatest conditions. $70 not bad at all for 9 polyps, especially if you like them.

 

[beckisguy73]

Well I bought the acans and they are now in my tank... One question I have is are all Acans very large polyps or is there some with small polyps and some with very large ones? I only have 2 kinds of Acans and my first I bought at BRASS (rainbow acans) last December and they are really big but the ones I got and are in this post are small....

There are different sized polyps. I have a few different sized acan lords. They could also still be pissed off/adjusting to your tank's parameters...
