Nate, Will see how they grow

Bruce is exactly right.  They will grow fine under low light, but to maximize growth and color, they're best under MH lights.

Js55 - Echinata usually run from $40 to $80 for a frag and Lordhowensis (another species of Acanthastrea) run from $75 to $125 a head.  They aren't cheap!

What kind of condition do these corals like such as
lighting and such. If I can provide that I call second
dibs on the top. ]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2004 18:36:17 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4641&PID=46817&title=my-new-acans#46817 <![CDATA[My new Acans ! : I got dibs on the first frag of...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4641&PID=46782&title=my-new-acans#46782 Author: SSpargur

I got dibs on the first frag of the top one.  That's a VERY nice echinata!]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2004 14:35:37 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4641&PID=46782&title=my-new-acans#46782 <![CDATA[My new Acans ! : Bruce, They are awesome.

Bruce,

They are awesome.  I'm probably going to just stick to lords (although I have two echinata's to halve with Sean).  The top one is awesome though.  Remember, I am a woman and can change my mind .

Sean, I believe the "voila" part happens when you collect the paycheck for these fancy little frags. Or is that the "ta-daa" part, I forget! Anyways, I here it is a magical moment.

Presto,

Jamison

They are fragged by using a chisel or Dremel.  You just cut between the polyps and voila!]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2004 11:42:15 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4641&PID=46763&title=my-new-acans#46763 <![CDATA[My new Acans ! : congrats ... very nice! how...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4641&PID=46762&title=my-new-acans#46762 Author: coreyk
