Acan Identity?

[WallyV]

I was wondering if anyone knows the name (common or scientific) of this acan.
Thanks-

I would say Acanthastrea Lordhowensis and a very nice one!

That is a nice one that is off of seadwelling creatures furnace page! Did you pick that one up or are you looking into it?

I am finally putting water in my tank, and I am looking around on differnt sites trying to get an idea of what I want. I had not seen an Acan of that color before, and was really curous if anyone gives these rare ones common names or not. It's just window shopping for me right now.

Wow, nice find.
Jon, do you know if any of their livestock is cultured or tank raised? They comment on AC, but it seems like they're geared toward WC.
Fang blenny pair is doing great, BTW.

They do a little bit of in house fragging but it is few and far between, and is mostly of the nice aussie stuff that comes in. I know that at one point we were selling them frags from the shop that they were then turning around and distributing to the entire country.

They do offer a variety of aquacultured fish, and inverts, and some corals that they import from the indo pacific but a good portion of it is still wild caught. The nice thing is that they are a MAC certified facility so at least the wild caught stuff is guaranteed to be net collected and not cyanide or dynamite caught!

Glad to hear that the fang blenny pair is doing well!
Cheers~!
Jon

This is good for everybody. Wife still wont let it in the tank, though.
