New Acan

[blazin2k6]

Ok so here is a new acan i got. Its green and purple. Hope you all like it. Also does anyone know if this is Acanthastrea Lordhowensis ? The lfs said it was but i dunno. Thanks for the help and hope yall enjoy the pics

This one looks like a lord. Theres defined polyp heads on this one.

 

[myzislow]

If the heads are that small(only a little bigger then the zoanthids), then there is a good chance that those are actually micromussa's. Definitely a small lord or micro. Nice whatever they are.

Thanks for the quick responses Paintballer768 & myzislow.
Those aren't zoanthids though. They are Palys and palys are much larger than zoanthids. I have some micromussa's and they are slightly smaller than these acans i have Thanks for the input though. I appreciate it.

 

[myzislow]

No worries. There are many forms of various zoanthinds throughout your pictures, though. Along with some of the larger palythoas and protopalythoas. They're all related one way or another of course.

[blazin2k6]

Ok so i just got this Red Acan lord yesterday at an lfs Its awesome.
This is when i first put it in the tank.

These are last night with the lights out. Had to use flash sorry.

 

[paintballer768]

I love the new acan. Night time is the time to feed em. I need more mysis for these guys. So many heads to feed.

 

[blazin2k6]

I feed mine in the daytime and havent ever had a problem But yeah i know they eat at night time. Thats why they are opened so much. Thanks for the comments rebelprettyboy.

Oh yea that too, as soon as mysis hits the tank they begin extending the feeder tentacles. At night might be a good time to spike the tank with a tiny bit of cyclopeeze or something, but they l-o-v-e mysis. Does anyone know of any other foods theyll accept besides brine, mysis, and cyclops??
