new aussie acans

andrewkw · #1 05/05/2007, 03:43 PM

Just put these guys in the tank a couple hrs ago and they were also just fragged today. Already the nicest corals I have ,along with my other aussie acan (the red one).

Soon I'm going to try an acan only tank where I can feed them easier and hopefully grow them out quick.

I've had this one about a month

together

wow those are really nice!! I like the green center ones and the maroon with with ones.

too bad you're in canada, I'd like to trade with you.

It's about time us Canadians got something to make you guys jealous of!

Don't worry, lots of today's shipment was sold to a retailer in the states, you'll be seeing frags from this acan shipment in no time.

All Delight · #4 05/05/2007, 08:28 PM

With as many retailers, I doubt I'll ever find it.

Very nice. Great macros also.

I believe you would know the retailers. I don't recall which ones specifically, but I knew them when they were mentioned in passing [likely in the "top 10" online coral retailers].

You sure ATL got those from this Canadian shipment?

ATL is mear miles from a wholesaler where they get most their Aussie stuff from.

MeeHuh · #9 05/08/2007, 11:38 AM

Wow, really nice acans!

I do not know if ATL got these from a Canadian shipment. I am just pointing out that ATL got Aussie Lords

I am hoping every month if not every 2 or 3 weeks but its unlikely. There are still a lot of regulations on the export of corals in aus.

Out of the 55 colonies that arrived (100 were supposed to arrive) I think at least 20-30 were sold to the US.

Another shop got in about 15 colonies from a different supplier. I'm picking up a frag of one of those pieces tomorrow. I'll post a pic of it in a day or 2.

MarineHabitats · #15 05/10/2007, 02:06 AM

Looks like as usual...its all in who you know!

SteveOhh · #16 05/11/2007, 10:13 PM

Those are beautiful.....................

RandyO · #17 05/14/2007, 10:04 PM

Nice Aussie Acans.

I scored a few myself.

heuerfan · #18 05/14/2007, 10:26 PM

Beautiful Randy, let me know if those centers turn green

If your talking about the orange one, there is one polyp on there with a green center.

andrewkw · #20 05/14/2007, 10:39 PM

Nice ones RandyO, I'm getting a frag of that red cherry bomb from someone soon, although its probably a bit different then yours. One thing I have noticed with aussie acans is no 2 colonies are the same. Even on the same colony some polyps can be different.

Too bad I missed you at reef raft, are you coming back down when Jay returns from hand picking?

heuerfan · #21 05/14/2007, 10:39 PM

Yes i noticed that, looks similar to the one in my avatar. Very nice colonies, did they cost alot?

andrewkw · #22 05/14/2007, 10:43 PM

yeah they are expensive but not as much as you pay in US.

All Delight · #23 05/14/2007, 11:24 PM

Randy those are awesome

I got a pretty good deal on my new acan. i purchased it over the weekend before the coral went online and it is very nice. I saw some really nice acan and duncan frags available as well, but I wanted a show piece coral. I got mine from http://justcoral.com/ in Ohio.

Yeah, I'll be heading back for sure.
