Acan warfare

[eli@fijireefrock.com]

the acan we are talking about (chalice like growth is Acan Echinata (thanx STANKYfish)

Chalice is fine near other chalice you could even fuse different types of chalice together
Acan Echinata will kill any other acan type or any chalice.
As for the acan you have,I would watch it for the day or 2 as it might be dying,hopefully not and if so it will eventually get its colors back.

nice to know the biggest coral i have is a killing machine. i've made some space around the two echinatas (and spaced them apart from each other too) and will keep an eye on things. in a nano 'space' means 4 inches rather than 1 so it's not much. Hopefully enough!

uh oh....better get working on that upgrade. Besides, you've had this tank for 5 months now??

I have never seen an echinata loose a battle. (they can be with each other)

They are nasty...but puurrrty

I would also use a baster to blow any execess stuff off of it, it helps with the healing,IMO.

i rigorously shook it off and also held it in front on my mp10 while doing so. there are fine strings that won't fall out of the mouths but I did my best. time will tell. a few polyps on the end already look normal.

On another note, those are both sick corals (even if one was in the process of being digested), where did you get them? I've been wanting to beef up my Acan collection, but I've not had much love for what I've seen in the stores since Red Coral closed.

my orange crush acan enchinata swallowed a whole scoly.....expensive meal

enchinatas come in some crazy nice colors though and pattern

[lastlight]

My acans have been from fragalot, concepts and Denny. This echinata was from concepts and the victim was fragalot. 3 polyps survived but all that were stung perished.

Add some wierd sounds and you got yourself some blue planet material there. Sad...but neat. Hope it pulls through.
