I have to point out to all of the eco-snobs that some may be illegal but do you know why? It's not because of them being endangered. If that were the case most of us would be all over these threads flaming the people posting them. If I'm not mistaken they are only illegal to be shipped here because certain countries are not Cites complient. To come onto a thread where others are enjoying nice pictures of corals and tell them that they are wrong for saying the colors are better from certain regions is pretty lame. Why do you feel the need to do that? This is a community forum and people here are a community. Try to not be a weekend activist here. If you think it is so horrible that others believe "non-indo" lords to have a greater variety than indo. lords go buy all the indos and post in another thread about how great they are. Don't bash others for liking something else.

I wish people would not quote people like Calfo as if what they say is gospel. In my opinion some of these "gurus" have become jaded. They have been in the hobby a long time and have seen a lot of the bad parts of it. They don't know how to enjoy it anymore. It seems like the more they say (type) the more they dislike most of this hobby. Everytime I see Calfo or Borneman quoted it is to bash something in the hobby. When is the last time you saw a Calfo quote that said something positive? Stop hating your hobby.

Very well said.........in both posts.
If some of us choose to obtain the more difficult to come by morphs and corals, whether it be due to locality or color morph, and think they are worth more to possess, so be it.
To me its like saying all vettes are the same. When in fact, there is a CHEvette, and a CORvette. A Z06 for me please.

Yep, sure did. They are looking good.
Well, for the two days I enjoyed them before I left for NY, just great!
I'll be home on the 21st, so I'll bet there'll be a couple baby polyps by then.
Peace,

There are a lot of internet specialists that type things up as if they were fact. You may or may not know what you're talking about, but to the 1000 newbies who are going to look at this thread, it's gospel. I'm just very suspicious of things that are stated as fact on internet message board, please understand my apprehension. This is how so much misinformation and hype gets around on the net and it just frustrates me. You say you can tell what corals are from where but don't really specify how except that non-indo are so much nicer... Japanese are different than Australian how? I'de like to know!
Sorry for derailing the thread and coming off like a rabid weekend activist. Keep the pics coming I'm sure lots are enjoying them .. I am.

The first one does not look like a typical Indo lord, but the other two do. Nice pieces.
I recognize the giant polyp on the left in the first pic.

This looks like a lord to me.
If you grew it from one polyp, most of the polyps would then be juveniles, and smaller in size. It takes about a year for a lord polyp to turn into a full size adult. Juveniles have a lot of red in them. As they grow larger, they grow into their gray. Some of your older polyps are just about there.
I'd guess that you have this morph.
Probably the most passed around Acan lord in the country.
Give that piece a few more months and regular feedings, and the polyps will blow up for you.
