Are you sure they aren't from the same colony? Looks like they would fit together if you turn pic 1 to the right a little stick to the right of the apex (accounting for the size difference in the photos as well). Either way very nice!

The other single polyp pics that I have of them make them look very different. They do kind of look similar in those photos though

Very nice...all those all going in your 24g Aqua Pod? You know, if you don't have room for them all, I would be willing to take those off your hands, Heck, I would even do it without charging you AND I would pay for shipping!!!

Seriously though, Very nice stuff

Is it true that when you frag them, if you cut through a polyp it will die?? And only the whole polyps will survive???

You know, you Acanthastrea fanatics are wearing me down. But I will resist the craze, must resist must resist.
Fortunately, there is no shop immediate to my current locale that carries these are I'd be flat broke! LOL

There are a few shops close to me that carry some pretty mice stuff, but I had to go online to get these...shoot me a PM if you want to know who has the best (heck even really reasonable) prices on Aussie's

I feel the start of an Incipient addiction. ****'s bells! I don't even have any more room in my reef.
Maybe if I moved some LR around- OMG It almost happened right here. I'm afraid your right, it won't be lon at all.
My poor, poor EMPTY wallet.
