good deal or not?

[ric maniac]

i was wondering if about 8 polyps of rasberry ice lords for $80 is a good deal?

 

[mscarpena]

$10.00 per polyp thats about the going rate for a descent acan lord. I'd go for it, but then again I love acan lords, but it does seem to be fair or more than fair. Buy it before some one else does. I hate it when that happens to me.

ok, i think i will. what requirements do they need? ive heard conflicting things.

 

[mscarpena]

Not much. They do fine under, PC, VHO, and MH. Moderate flow and spot feed if you want them to grow faster. I have like 13-14 acans and micros and all are fine and growing. None have died.

ok, thanks! i will order them. ive always kinda wanted to but was afraid they would die on me.

 

[ric maniac]

ok, i ordered them. my lighting is sufficient. do you HAVE to spot feed them?

[ric maniac]

ok, thanks they got here today. ill post pics later once it is open more.

could i put some acans in my 14 g nano?

 

[mscarpena]

Oh yeah. They are great corals. Start with about 2-5 polyps and spot feed. Then just watch it grow grow grow.

what do you feed them??? i just got some zoa's but i haven't fed them...also some came on my liverock...thanks.

You could feed them a bunch of things. Zooplankton, Cyclopleeze, Mysis etc. I feed mine zooplankton for the most part and mysis every now and then.

Ok, ive been feeding each polyp a piece of mysis shrimp each day and i can tell they have gotten bigger! i havent had a chance to take a pic because my camera is broken.
