My candy cane fell on top of my acan during the night... half of it is gonne. It took a long time to be looking nice. Its half gone my big colony of rastas are dying too. Everything else looks healthy.

Love that purple stylo, wish I could grow one that well.

What coral is above the candy cane on the left hand side?

Its an acan! The purple stylo grows very fast. It was a 1 inch frag 2 years ago. One of my favorites. I already have two frags growing fast in less than a month.

Got 2 big colonies of acans, and 1 small one. I now have a total of 43 acans. All different colors.
Am I an acan addict? Lol

I had to rearrange some of my acans on the sand bed. I have big colonies coming now I have more space.
Took some pics last night!

I Just got these two acan colonies! The red rainbow is huge... the green and purple not so big. They are not fully open yet.
Very happy with these two.

A better picture to see where I placed them for now.

I have this acan for a wile now... I have never seen those anywhere.. I bought it with 2 small heads. Look now how it looks! This is amazing.
Purple with hot pink inside, and the tentacles are neon green. Its over 50 heads already.
Amazing

How long did it take to get to that size from the two heads?

Around a year. I feed them twice a week. Sometimes more than twice.

I bought 4 lyretail anthias Yesterday. 3 females, and 1 male. I dont know how hardy they are. Why not give it a try.

 

[renato120]

Anthias are doing good so far. They fought a lot at the begining. They stay next to eachother most of the time.

Im building a stand for my frag tank that will be next to my 120. They will be plumbed together.
The frag tank will be here Thursday. Its a deep blue 30g... 24x24x12. Im not sure yet , but I think I made a mistake. The overflow! I didnt make any space on the back right corner. I have to wait now until the tank gets here, and see if will work it.
