Very very nice! Too bad they can't send them to the US, I would take a ton. I have seen some of the nicest colonies no a site from an Australian LFS.

Thanks for the kind words guys. You know what I find strange? The fact that Aussies LFS get acanthastrea by the truckload, while your LFS are lucky to get 1 or 2 pieces every month or so, all your pieces still seem to have nicer colours. I dont think the aussie collectors really know what they're looking for

mummra100769 · #11 09/03/2005, 08:43 PM

you have that backwards as I think yours are better colors. maybe it's a "grass is greener on the other continent" kind of thing.lol

Hey Sin,

they're getting better though. Saw some nice colour morphs up the coast last week. One was beautiful red with green centres caught my eye but was too big for my tank. About 12"x6" for $95. Half the size and I would have got it. As it was I got a 4" square red with white centres for $25

You guys have them because they are growing right in your back yard.

We would of stripped the reefs of them by now, but you guys had to go a make exporting corals illeagl
