Byrd Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hey Everyone I need a little help as I am not sure what I have positively I think it is an Enchinata Acan, but not certain (100%), Anyway once it is determined what I have, my next question am I going to be in trouble where it is, you see the groups of Lordhowensis surrounding it so I dont know if it will co-habitate peacefully. Any help out there???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrMerle So you are saying it will kill the Lords and ANYTHING else within 2" as they all grow out? My long term goal/plan is this entire rock wil be covered as everything grows. The colors are Orange, and Purple with Green eyes And they are growing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwcoralfarm Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I have quite a few frags of this same piece, it is the Rainbow Acan, it's sweepers at this point are pretty short but definitely would be a problem in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byrd Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 Any suggestions on on what a fair asking price would be? This piece is about 2.5 inches by 1 inch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I have one too and I love it. I just keep things away... but I did have it in a 10 gallon nano for a while with a bunch of zoas and shrooms within 2 inches and they were fine. And my xenia got stuck to the tentacles MANY times without getting killed... maybe I found a friendly one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrd Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 It will be some time before it will be a threat, it has 5 new eyes/mouths coming in (or what ever the correct word is) But it will be traded if I can find someone interested-I need to do a little research to see what its worth-less than I paid I'm sureDOH!
