Anyone still interested in and keeping Micromussa?

They are supposed to be a slow grower!

i had 5 heads that after 6 months grew to like 20 heads so they are slow growers but not like super super slow but i target feed 3 to 4 times weekly

I just got these from Cherry in the sale:

My first, but not last, Micro's. Can't wait to get them under decent lights on my frag tank.

You have an amazing collection!!! That pink one, all green one, pink eye one, and the UFO are my fav.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the all pink one? First time seeing that!

Great photo with the basslet btw. Those acans are gorgeous.

thanks!

some of those are very "old school" jendub micros. there's also a reef dr micromussa angel eye in there (up top - hard to make out the pink due to the exposure up there). the two green ones are "love of money" and "chronic" (both jendub).

the pink one is actually from will at aqua sd - Pink Barbie Micromussa

cheers!

I'm still obsessed with them and collect them whenever I can. If anyone has any to sell let me know!

My one and only micromussa. Hardly see any at local LFS

They are so difficult to find. I just bought this off a friend on a 3 inch plug. But the new ones I've seen recently want like $200 a polyp. Shyeah right!

These pics really bring me back! I used to collect micros back in the early 2000s and got back into them in the last few years. I'll try to post some pics from my phone. I'd love to get my hands on some of the old indo micros, like the purple haze or angel eyes.

Here’s a few from my phone

I would like to point out that the species Acanthastrea lordhowensis is now in the Genus Micromussa, so they're M. lordhowensis. So in fact, a lot of people are keeping Micrpmussa and just calling them "Acans" still but yes I like the rest of the Genus too, we don't see as many of the other species offered as much.

 

[PatientZero]

You’re not wrong. This thread dates back to long before the classification change and as I can tell what’s been posted are mostly amakusensis.

And so it begins. History repeats itself
Let’s start micro club again and deal with “reclassified” sometime

I like that first pic, I just picked up the wwc ruby rainbow micro last week. Excited to see that grow!

 

[grisha]

Its definitely deep ruby.
sets it apart for sure

 

[Mykesocalreef]

Can anyone tell me what this is?

 

[grisha]

If its very fleshy like acan with big in and out of skeleton abilities- micro amak. If is stiff and hard - favia. Regardless very nice colors
