Default Believe it or not.....Irony.....

I came across 2 other colonies (green colouration) within same week at a different LFS as I was researching this particular piece. It was at a "big box" chain; and the colonies were actually named and classified properly. I'm not used to this chain of stores identifying corals properly (at least with any consistency).

Very nice I've never seen one before. At least not knowingly. Are the heads pretty much the same size as acan heads?

Short Answer: Yes.

Long Answer: I've seen other colonies with some pretty big heads. If you perform a web engine image search for: "Moseleya Latistellata"; you'll see that the heads can get fairly large. However; Acan Hillae and Acan Bowerbanki get large too.

In retrospect.....I suppose my answer didn't help much. lol Apologies.
