What is this Bowerbanki called, please?

[Sophie"s mom]

Good morning everyone! So a friend who is breaking down and getting rid of his tank gave me these 2 bowerbanki yesterday! Awesome, but while I know one is a rainbow, he does not remember the other. So does anyone here know what the other one is please? I like knowing them if possible.

Honestly both look like Micromussa Lordhowensis (AKA) Acans. Bowerbanki are larger polyps with a different shape division between polyps. Usually only a few colors as well. Like these.

Thank you for the reply. Do you have any idea what their names might be? The one with orange and blue was definitely sold to my friend as a rainbow bowerbanki though. I know where he gets his corals from, and they are very reputable, but I will not name them here.

Yeah those are acan lords. Look like just general rainbow and UFO maybe? There are a million different color combos.

Depends. Faster than a bower for sure but maybe 1 new polyp every 1-2 months? Faster if you feed them regularly.

Cool! Would you target feed , of just general broadcast feed? I usually feed my tank zooplankton and phytoplankton a couple times a week

Target feed. Larger food like mysis works really well.

excellent! I will feed them the same stuff I feed my torches then.
