Those are nice jeremy. That seems very odd that better colors are making it here. Has to be a reason for them coming here and is most likely money.
Australian Acan's
- Thread starter Chads29
- Start date
My point is that I have never seen really nice colours in LFS' here - obviously i havent seen every LFS, but our Australian forum "tank journals" have VERY few attractive acans.
Im thinking that maybe you are being sold Acans from other regions badged as Australian??
Either that or the best Aussie Acans have always been "exported" legal or not?!
Just seems like suddenly you folks have access to "Aussie" acans the likes of which WE have never seen.
Then again maybe our keenest & most cashed up Aquarists have arrangements with collectors & arent keen on sharing pics of their bling online??
Theres a conspiracy here somewhere im tellin ya!!!

Woah - what a sweet collection! So you were able to get those diving (collecting legally) out of Aussie waters - but sellers can't collect them to resell? Is it legal for recreational divers to collect corals there?
I've seen some nice ones recently at some online vendors - still pricey but not really crazy prices. That one from Louis Tsai is Austrailian? I've never heard of him, I'll have to find the search button.
It seems like it would be just as easy to ship them out of Indo where its legal - then badging them as Aussie corals.
Great collection, anyway!!!!

You might have a good point there jeremy. What are the collectors considering Aussie waters. Call them what they want, some of the color combos are amazing.
, very nice corals! haha

I see one that may be a faviid instead of a musiid.
But They are definatly from "OZ" and definatly nice!
Im not sure why you would think that?!
I have one 4' tank with about 30 colonies/frags. As stated they were collected recreationally and as such would be illegal for me to sell.
The time, effort and risk of trying to export these to the US would far outweigh the meagre profit that would be made.
My coral is not for sale - please do not ask.
Shawn which one do you think is a faviid?

Jeremy,
I would hope no one is pm'ing you asking you to do illegal things. Consider yourself very lucky to able to go cherry pick the GBR. We are all envious.
What is the lighting of choice in Australia? I have an 8 bulb t5 tek light on my 75 gal and 2 - 250 watt mh's with 2 vho actinics on my 120.
