    Thanks for the comments. I'll keep it updated as the heads grow.

    Jerry I am trying to remember but I think the bowerbanki or another Acan are very aggressive. I hope you don't have it too close to other corals.

    That's a beautiful Bowerbanki. I have a red one that has heads popping out all around it. I feed it with my acans. It's doing really well. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for the comments, guys. ;D

    Here is a better picture that shows three new heads growing directly from the mother head.

    Picked up a purple and green Bowerbanki from a local swap yesterday. Actually, they are both from the same guy. Dipped it in Bayer when I got home, then fed it after lights out. Still not fully open but doing good so far. Flicked the lights on quick this morning and got the new wrasse in the shot, too.

    Looking good. My lfs has a generic red/orange bower I think I want just because of yours.

    Haha, get on it. They seem to like a little more light than Lords, and are a little hardier. I'm thinking Bowerbanki garden. :p
