yah i think i have seen an online site call it a lobo brain as well.

i like the first and third acanth. i really like the brightly colored ones but we all know where those are coming from so i will stick with the indo-pacific acanths.

the second and last pic are the same one and i have no idea what they are. a freind of mine said it was some type of acanth but even if they are not i still like them.

that last one is a light purple with green bumps and dark green centers. sweet.

The 2nd to last looks like A. Maxima but I have never seen any in person to be sure. It doesn't look bumpy enough for Lobo IMO

That's why I haven't seen any in person I'm sure it's a sweet Lobo. Frag me off a chunk for further review

the canon you want costs $1500 on ebay, more or less, WOO! I bet it rocks too for that price. I use a kodak dx7630 with closeup lens, of +7, +10 and combined +17 zoom, but too bad i suck at getting good pictures, hehe.
