hehe new name

ianiwane · #**752** 10/22/2007, 06:13 PM

Yup, I think they are the smuckers.

ianiwane · #**753** 10/22/2007, 07:40 PM

BTW Chris does some of the your smuckers have white lines in the green area near the outer purple part?

grisha · #**754** 10/22/2007, 09:05 PM

like that ?

ianiwane · #**755** 10/22/2007, 09:08 PM

Yup that is what I am talking about. Are those from Chris?

grisha · #**756** 10/22/2007, 09:22 PM

But only in his vendor forum

Same rules apply to even sponsors in the general forums such as this one.

Creetin · #**759** 10/27/2007, 08:45 AM

Not my pic, I borrowed it from the place i got it, But i do own the coral now.
It is a micro, Ive owned enough to tell.
Best Rainbow micro i have seen.

ReefDoctorMicromussas · #**760** 10/27/2007, 09:37 AM

ianiwane Yes my smuckers is just like that..

Creetin Positively AWESOME micro yes I bought a colony of that exact micro.. Mine is called VERTIGO (Rainbow has been so overused) Those Neon pink mouths are the dead give away to identify that morph.. I have a pic of her in my vendors forum.

The morph actually came from Australia and is one of only a very few I have found that are not simply "Small Acans" Great SCORE!

Creetin · #**761** 10/27/2007, 11:14 AM

Thanks DOC! I was just assuming as soon as i would have posted it someone would say no its a lord. LOL.
Yeah this is an aussie, and small polyps.
I have a Neon red and pink sprinkles one coming in as well.
Look for that morph if you see any more. I'll get a pic of it shortly.

ReefDoctorMicromussas · #**762** 10/27/2007, 12:30 PM

Yup its micro

I do want to see a pic of the new one..

The Aussie dilema still haunts many of the clients looking for quality Amakusensis morphs... This is the first morph from Australia that I have found to actually fit all of Vernons defining traits. There are of course many determining factors in identifying micros.. and I really never had to use them much until the influx of the Aussie stuff... but over all, the stand by definition, Vernons definition of Amakusensis is about 90% on target ... polyp diameter not more than 8mm (Heck, most are more like 5mm). Many of the Acans listed on my site were sent to me originally by the divers as Micromussa.. I refused to sell them as micros and have upset a few importers, polyp sizes 10mm to 15mm yes small acans but NOT micromussa. One of the Aussie importers wanted me to sign a declaration that I would not challenge thier definition of what they were importing or they would no longer be able to sell to me.. They said that it could endanger thier CITES permit, I refused and can no longer receive Aussie pieces from that distributor LOL what I think happens is this....

(I am useing hypothetical numbers here for ease of explaination)

Aussie Collector/importer/distributor "A" has a CITES permit to allow import/export of 100 Lord colonies and 25 micro collonies... before the end of the CITES collection period they have collected thier quota of lords.. and theorhetically would be finished (as they have not found 25 micro colonies, a challenging task) now they lable "Small Lords" as micros so that they are able to import the additional 25pcs... If someone understands CITES better than I please help me to understand this process better.. But so many of the misidentified pieces are obviously NOT MICRO that I can only think this practice to be deliberate...

Thanks for the info, Heres the new one, Its just after acclimating and is still not puffed out fully, But it came in more pink than red!
The aussie behind it is red, This is all pink. I hopw it stays this way.

Creetin · #**766** 10/30/2007, 04:22 PM

Creetin · #**768** 10/30/2007, 07:57 PM

Oh well it still has the pink banding. Just hope i can keep that.
