[izzyishh]

[Shaddow_wolf169]

Are they all part of the same family?

 

[izzyishh]

yeah uncles , aunties, brothers , you name it lol

 

[Shaddow_wolf169]

I'm talkin about Lordhowensis or Echinata I don't want to mix the 2 they will kill each other.

 

[izzyishh]

I'm talkin about Lordhowensis or Echinata I don't want to mix the 2 they will kill each other.

They aren't actually acans anymore, they've been reclassified as micromussa

 

[Shaddow_wolf169]

I'm not sure which ones I have?

 

[Shaddow_wolf169]

So is it safe to mix all of these but the trumpets and favia?

 

[Squid]

Hillae, bowerbanki, and scolymia have also been reclassified as homophyllia

 

[izzyishh]

you got acans

 

[Squid]

Nope, he has micromussa lordhowensis. You can mix those. Echinatas look more similar to chalice corals so they should be pretty easy to distinguish from lords

 

[izzyishh]

acans

 

[izzyishh]

lol im giving you a hard time @Squid i dont keep up with it tbh

 

[Chrisfish]

Which goby?

Lol, both:D
