I just had to share this pic

 

[meowzer]

How the heck do you get a pic like that.....That is really nice......
what are you feeding it there?

 

[robertmathern]

Its some homemade food. A mixture of fish shrimp scallops and clams. Chopped up in a food processor. I thawed it in some zooplankton

 

[mrdc]

What exactly is it?

 

[robertmathern]

The guy I got it from said it is a bowerbankii.

 

[mrdc]

Is that in the acan family? Looks really cool. How close up are you on it because the picture makes it look HUGE!

 

[robertmathern]

That thing is huge about the size of a softball maybe a little bigger. I was about an inch off the glass it sits about2 inches on the other side. So about 3-4 inches away

 

[mrdc]

What camera are you using?

 

[mell]

Yep, Acanthastrea Bowerbankii, one of the species in the Acan genus, including the common-named Acan, Acanthastrea lordhowensis.

And echinata.

 

[mrdc]

Thanks. I have acan lords and echinata but never a bowerbankii. I want one now but I bet they ain't cheap!

 

[robertmathern]
