Acan maxima?

[KLR]

I know 1st thing everyone will say is no way...

Im just wondering because it isnt a bower. it isnt an echinta, and it for sure isnt a lord soo anyways here it is

the feeders look like acan so i dont think it is a mini scoly, it was sold to me as orange crush acan...thats it no specifics

here is a maxima i found on the internet that looks exactly like the main mouth of the hole colony

Oh boy.........here we go! All I know is it's bad as hell and looks very very nice. Condor is an expert on the topic Im sure he'll let you know!

 

[KLR]

It also has a solid gold rim and the closest acan it looks like is maxima....which i know is very unlikely I just want to know what it is??

 

[Reef lvr]

I wouldnt care what it is.....It's frigen awesome!!!!!!!!!

 

[KLR]

Thanks, i just like to know so i dont call it something and its wrong

That is a Acan Maxima. The second pic looks like a Acanthophyllia, but hard to tell.

 

[KLR]

So mine is an acan maxima?

 

[inactive]

Looks like an echinata... could be wrong... I would have to taste it to be sure.

 

[droblack]

Very nice. My best guess is acan echinata.

 

[KLR]

Ok how big can acan echinta's individual mouths grow to be?
because the center mouth is the size of an average size scoly

 

[eswebster]

yeah the center mouth is what threw me off the echinita as well..... i have an echinita that has the same coloring and doesnt look like this piece. I am guessing this is a...... new strain:wink:.

 

[KLR]

That would be cool!!

 

[condor]

actually looks like a bowerbanki morph. i have one that has similar structure but mine is only solid red.
very cool pick up KLR.
ill post a pic of mine when i get home tonight

 

[condor]

the internet pic im not sure, im going to sit that one out

 

[condor]

bowers usually have one large centeriod polyp surrounded by irregular smaller polyps

 

[KLR]

Sounds cool!!

 

[condor]

here are 2 of my 3 bowerbanki's

 

[condor]

and this is my acan hillae. i am pretty sure that yours is 1 of the 2. you can choose what your looks more like:nerd:
the bower has a more defined coralite wall

 

[KLR]

i think it is closer to the hillae but mine doesnt have fatish ouths..mine has the little bones in the mouth kinda like a scoly

 

[condor]

i think it is closer to the hillae but mine doesnt have fatish ouths..mine has the little bones in the mouth kinda like a scoly

live aquaria d-den has a hillae right now that shows the septa a bit better than my pic
