i just went to a swap this weekend and got some turq zoas, a hairy shroom, and these palys? they called wagon wheels. spent the extra money i had on an ugly acan from dr's f&s diver's den: just sharing the pics:

wagon wheel paly - just glows under actinics!

beauty defined in a shroom

my first acan - a bit plain and ugly but you never forget your first right?

Very nice pics. What kind of mushroom is that and what color is it?

 

[johnanddawn]

hmmm... just guessing Rhodactis rhodostoma ??? i am very bad at taking pics but that one is true to color under 2 ea. VHO actinic and actinic white bulbs very pink/purple with green highlights and florescent green tips

yea i like the name they gave them too "wagon wheels" the brown stripes are very evident in white light but with just the actinics they glow green especially the mouth
acan experts a question for you - will my ugly acan color up with my VHO lighting or do they hold color? the new growth fringes are all showing some orange and some of the centers have a aqua-teal green to them - but most of the coral is purple- brown blah
