i agree looks like ackan lord.

definately not favites ... if you paid favites prices you got a great deal. depending on polyp size it is a lord or a micro.

if you are in chicago, I would be more than happy to stop by and give you an accurate id.

 

[Ensonik]

I'm not in Chicago (unfortunately) As for size, there are about 30 polyps averaging the size of the tip of a normal thumb (as descriptive as that can be ...).

Looking around the net, it does look like it's what I have. I'll have to check out proper care for them now

I think it is probably a micro ... and a really nice one!

[paininthewrasse]

looks like an acan to me would be great if you got it at the favites price.

I think I did get it at favite price (75$ cad).

 

[JGermanow]

IMO its a lord..... at 75$ its a steal! Nice Find

 

[Ensonik]

Win some, lose some

 

[spsgtr]
