Its beautiful! Honestly, I wouldn't be able to afford corals like Acanthophyllia if I werent in southeast Asia. Thankful to be reefing here. The guy I bought the Acanthophyllia from actually offerred me 3 Stratosphere zoas for the equivalent of like $90 yesterday.

Prices here for some things are insane! I decided not to try acanthophyllia again unless I can get my current ones to recover. Still has me stumped

Here she is! Truly, the pictures dont do it justice! Its pretty big!

Mysis is good and you can soak in aminos for some extra nutrition

I would just feed mysis.

I have no dinos and clean sand ever since I stopped dosing stuff like that

Thanks! I think ill get one. I wont say the price though unless you DM me because I dont want to come off as bragging about the price of corals here.

I would guess $250 to $300 the price has come down a lot on those

You would be very surprised...again, if you want to know what I actually paid, DM me because I dont want it to sound as if Im boasting or trying to make people jealous.

Bought this one in BKK, big chunky boy. Around 60 bucks, imported. Not saying it's easy to ship but some shop must have crazy margin in the US.

@livinlifeinBKK This one for Aquaparadise, best shop for acanthophyllia, need to be early for the good one though.
