Thats a Acanthastrea Lord mushroom man. They are awesome but very rare. The typical cost is around $20-30 a polyp with colonies ranging in the few hundereds. They are however pretty easy to care for. Take a look on ebay.

Yup ! You got it! Acanthastrea Lordhowensis...the prices are coming down...slowly...
I like LPS and I really like this one...(have to post a new pic...it has gotten much poofier) but I am not going to spend $500 bucks! I spent $30 and that is fine with me. It will grow quickly | |

| Re: My new baby Acan!
Hey, thanks for the website!!! I am getting ready to order an orange crush from this guy.. www.fragglereef.com
He is in my reef club and prefers local pick up
All in good time.....I may have to order some stuff from that roesmarineworld..they had lots of colors!!!
I also got a red and green fungia and a favia this weekend...gotta take some pics
Good luck with the elegance coral...they are so beautiful, yet I am afraid to get one. They have not had good luck over the last 5 years or so...
Perhaps because we have strived to keep our tank water cleaner and cleaner...and they hail from lagoon waters which are more nutrient rich...I don' t think anyone really knows why they have been doing poorly lately.
Let us know how you do with it. | |
