Acanthophyllia... who has them and what did you pay

[TheWorldsOceans]

Hi all, who has acanthophyllia. Nice indo not aussie ones. Post pics and what you paid for them. If new pic what size was it when you got it? Pic for attention.

I know where to get some but I don't have room for one personally. The last time I looked they were listed for $120 Canadian. I don't know if FragBox still has them in though.

For aussie not nice indo ones

I saw a real nice one at my LFS listed at $799.00. A little rich for my blood. I believe it was an aussie not an indo.

What is the difference between an Aussie and an Indo?

I think the indos are more colourful. Aussies are more browns and greens.

I got a green Aussie for $60. Don't think I'd pay 10 times that for a more colorful version tbh haha.

Whats wrong with green?


Anyway got my aussie for $120

Really nice patterns, especially when viewed from above, though I don't have any photos of that. Under 45% white and 55% blues so the colors aren't as deep as you'd see at your LFS

Green Acantho....i think it was around 150 Au$

Anything more colourful is setting you back at least 500 here

 

[VintageReefer]

I’ve never seen these for under 400

Variations of it are just an extremely common coral color and so people want variety. Supply and demand.

 

[Brian1f1]

This is Australian. I think every bit as nice as Indos.

Also check out this link to absolute Aussie unit at a koi (?) place!

Indo ones are nice too. These are mine. Strawberries and cream

No one has anything against them. They are just common, as are green things in general, so some people like variety is all.

Btw, your sandbed.
