Wonderful. Perhaps I will have to try getting a few someday.

The red with Green center has been struggling lately. It was growing strong the first year. But then the coralline algae covered the frag rock, and the Acan looked like it was having trouble growing over the coralline. So it started growing a hanging foot. It was like a polyp growing out and hanging over the coralline. I tried to cut a couple of them off, but never got any to live myself. I did send one off so maybe he had better luck.
My piece is still alive, but it does not look nearly as good anymore. My tank overall has not been looking good. I think I'd be too embarrassed to show current pics.
When I was talking about the polyps peeling off, it was polyp bail out. I had full polyps floating around my frag tank. I tried to glue them down, but without a skeleton they just slimmed off the glue. I had one floating around for a few months.

I got my first frag of Orange Crush Acan from TigaBoy in a trade. He got it from Mike at The Captive Reef.
The green center red lord has also started to grow.

March 05 Red and Green Indo Colony
It was almost 5AM when I typed this out last night and I made a few mistakes. This segment had two of the same pics, but I fixed it now.
Sorry, I have no non-indo eye candy to contribute, but a random theory...
I read somewhere most non-indo lords were from Japan. I also read the waters there are cooler than most areas our corals are commonly collected from. Is it possible that these systems are run at a higher temp than these corals prefer? What temp are you guys keeping your systems at that had polyp bail out?
Hehe, I have to sneak in a little gratuitous harrassment as well, for Randy, I have never dreamed of asking you to put them on the glass...Just sure glad you did! :love1:

I am pretty sure that this one is non Indo, but several have told me that it isn;t, despite it being identical to a known named Acan that is being sold (came from same supplier I was told and have no reason to doubt...).

Nice stuff, Randy. I knew if I checked Marvin's thread out, I'd see tons from you (just wondering where the other lord/micro mogul's pics are-she's responded once
). Really nice stuff. I still love your red and grey. Mine hasn't gotten the deep grey centers yet, but that is my favorite look.
Heres a slightly blurry pic from Oct.

My buddy had the same thing happen to a colony of his Japanese acans. It was during the summer when the temp of his tank got in the mid 80's. By the time he got a chiller polyps started to detach. He lost just about the whole colony. He recently gave the rest to me. There were 4 polyps left, but when I put them in my tank 2 more polyps came off. At least the 2 biggest polyps stayed.

I got them in September and lost my first one to bail out in January. The other followed over the next few months.
I have to work hard to keep my tanks warm in the winter. I keep my sump in the basement, on the cement floor, so I have almost 2000 watts of heaters maintaining the temps between 77-78 F.
Not sure on the salinity. I try to keep in between 1.025-1.027
