let's see some non-indo lords...

[MarvinsReef]

hello.. I've been looking into getting couple of frags of non-indo lords but would like to see some more eye candy from you guys...

please don't be shy with your pics... ;)

Thanks
Marvin

[jasper24]

Do not do it Marvin! They are addictive! I recently started with my first couple of Non Indos. I got the Pink Sparkle from Jendub (Very Nice) and a Purple / Red / Green from The Cultivated Reef. It is fairly new but is coloring up and I think it will be nice. As soon as my camera is functional I will take some PICS.

Here's a couple. I believe the first one is from Japan. The damage was caused by it falling into a Chalice. Sorry about the bad photos, I'm still trying to figure out my new camera!

caddisfly - is that 2nd one a micro?

[caddisfly]

I'm really not sure. I've been wondering that myself. The polyps are fairly large. Not the size of a regular acan lords though.

[RandyO]

There's a couple mixed in here.

Randy,

What do you mean these are "one of the few that actually grew for me"? Do you find the "non-indos" dont grow as well as the common indos? Just curious, thanks!

[djmuzzi]

Depends on the morph. There are many people that have not seen any growth w/ some morphs of non-indo.

Back in September 2004 I received 10 frags of Lords. Most likely all were Non-Indo. I say most likely since the guy never advertised as to where they came from.

After about 6 months, half of the frags I got peeled off their skeleton. 3 of them had doubled in size in that time, and 2 had neither grown, or shrunk. Only one of my frags ended up growing very well, and it's still in debate whether that one is a Micro or a lord.

That is my experience with them. Maybe others have had better luck. I know of a bunch of people that got them from the same source as me, and had similar results.

It really is too bad. Some of the nicest color morphs are corals that will never grow.

[RandyO]

I guess I'll dig up some old pictures.


Here's the group of frags I got back in September 2004.

Here's a few a month after settling in. The Powder blue spotted, big polyp Acan was my favorite.

I also added the two dark green lords to my collection around this time.

A month later the bottom cracked on my newly setup 150 gallon tank.


So the collection of Acans were sent off to my 40 breeder with PC lighting. They looked great under this light.

December 2004
http://hometown.aol.com/randyolszewski/images/acanthgarden.jpg

BTW, all the larger colonies in the last pic are Indo Acanthastrea, and all were grown from 3-5 polyp frags.

[RandyO]

In January, I moved the collection into a 50 gallon with a single 400 watt MH 10K with 2 VHO Actinics.

January 2005

http://users.adelphia.net/~randyolszewski/images/Jan05micro.jpg

This was the last of the Non-Indo frags to peel off the skeleton. This pic is from around September 2005.

http://users.adelphia.net/~randyolszewski/images/GreenGrayAcanth.jpg

I lost it around December 05



By October 05, Non-Indo lords were phasing out, and Micromussa where squeezing in.

Love those old pics Randy, how is the red with green center lord doing? Did it peel out on you also?

I lost 3 frags just like that. I have pretty much one frag with about 10 polyps left, was 3 polyps when I got it. It's been over 2 years. They seems to be very slow grower or I'm not doing something right. Do you guys have the same experience?

[djmuzzi]

were they all non-indo?

[Nizmo350Z]

Yep, got them from berlinmethod.

[djmuzzi]

interesting....

[heuerfan]

Some say polyp bail out due to low magnesium levels, who knows the real reason.

[djmuzzi]

My Magnesium is high if anything....

The red with Green center has been struggling lately. It was growing strong the first year. But then the coralline algae covered the frag rock, and the Acan looked like it was having trouble growing over the coralline. So it started growing a hanging foot. It was like a polyp growing out and hanging over the coralline. I tried to cut a couple of them off, but never got any to live myself. I did send one off so maybe he had better luck.

My piece is still alive, but it does not look nearly as good anymore. My tank overall has not been looking good. I think I'd be too embarrassed to show current pics.


When I was talking about the polyps peeling off, it was polyp bail out. I had full polyps floating around my frag tank. I tried to glue them down, but without a skeleton they just slimmed off the glue. I had one floating around for a few months.

[WendyMc]

Sorry, I have no non-indo eye candy to contribute, but a random theory...

I read somewhere most non-indo lords were from Japan. I also read the waters there are cooler than most areas our corals are commonly collected from. Is it possible that these systems are run at a higher temp than these corals prefer? What temp are you guys keeping your systems at that had polyp bail out?

Hehe, I have to sneak in a little gratuitous harrassment as well, for Randy, I have never dreamed of asking you to put them on the glass...Just sure glad you did! :love1:

how to tell the differences?

[gflat65]

I am pretty sure that this one is non Indo, but several have told me that it isn;t, despite it being identical to a known named Acan that is being sold (came from same supplier I was told and have no reason to doubt...).

[djmuzzi]

Randy: Just out of curiosity what was your salinity & Temp average when the bail-out was occurring, if you remember?

[All Delight]

My buddy had the same thing happen to a colony of his Japanese acans. It was during the summer when the temp of his tank got in the mid 80's. By the time he got a chiller polyps started to detach. He lost just about the whole colony. He recently gave the rest to me. There were 4 polyps left, but when I put them in my tank 2 more polyps came off. At least the 2 biggest polyps stayed.

I got them in September and lost my first one to bail out in January. The other followed over the next few months.

I have to work hard to keep my tanks warm in the winter. I keep my sump in the basement, on the cement floor, so I have almost 2000 watts of heaters maintaining the temps between 77-78 F.

Not sure on the salinity. I try to keep in between 1.025-1.027

Great Pics everyone. The acan bug has just recently bitten me as well. I have a few now but am getting some non-indo this weekend. I'll try to post some pics of my new additions first of the week.

A quick question for all of you that are having good luck with color and growth. I have a 58 RR tank set up primarily for acans - will a 175 MH 14k with 4 (75 watt) 24" vho's be enough light for them? I also hope to get a few micros and put them near the top.

Rub it in Adam, rub it in:).

I know I talked to Elizabeth last week. She said how they have alot, but they only sell some here and there, otherwise they'd run out. Sounds like they rotate morphs around to let them grow out some.

Yah man your lucky, I know how it is. You look and look and just don't know what to get.

thank goodness a friend babysat some of them and I just happen to drop by and I was like... WOWOWEE.. then, he let pick which ones I like and those the ones I came up with... there's more but I didn't have enough... I hope to get another morph if he's still got it.. :D

Isn't it great when you have finds like that.....

hehe.. yup yup... it's also awesome when you're there to catch it at the right time... :)

[MarvinsReef]

updated shots.. I think they're settling in nicely on the sandbed.. flash shots are taken at night when the lights are off.. I used a flashlight to add more light so the camera can pick it up better...

That was done by accident. Tried many different ways to take an accurate shot of the coral with my non macro lens slr camera

I've seen the aussies from Roe's I don't like them.

[salt newbie01]

just depends on the morph for me -
I have one that the adult polyps are a terquoise (sp?) color - I really like them - not a color seen very often. I have only a small frag. and it is not an adult polyp so it hasn't colored up yet. I will post pics as the color develops a little more.

[Gomer]

Forgive the noob question, but what are indo lords then?

[proboscis]

indonesia

[Gomer]

Perhaps I should have asked it a different way. Is there certain characteristics present in indo lords vs non indo?

[coralcutie]

that albino one for sale, special ausie albino lord, isn't it a echinata or subechinata of some sort, not even a lord?

[andrewkw]

Hi guys, don't post too often on RC, but after looking through this thread and seeing all these beautiful acans I thought I'd add mine.

It's an aussie one and it wasn't cheap but it sure is nice

Too bad i'm in canada or i'd love to trade with some of you. Due to the cost of this guy I've broken the colony up

wow! nice collection.

[kiran523]

bump for a super thread

[andrewkw]

i'll be getting another aussie acan this weekend, hopefully i wont have to sell my soul for it.

[z00crazy]

wow, after seeing this thread i really really really want one!!!! I was wondering was the price for these things?? im guessing they are alot because i saw someone say they got a deal on 10 for $1000?? Being that im a great math guy im guessing thats 100 dollars each!?!? wow, out of my college student league! I think ima go call my dad =]

[All Delight]

Yes they are expensive. Unless you catch a good deal. Usually for $100 or more a polyp they're really nice ones. Like the first 2 were $200 a polyp. And the last ones were more like $50-$75 I forgot by now.

[salt newbie01]

Those first 2 are so incredible - How do the colors hold up? Have you had them long or do you still have them. I am a little gun shy to shell out the cash for some of the really crazy pastel colored lords for fear that they will fade over time. Anyone have any that have remained in their tanksfor any length of time??

[All Delight]

Salt - Sadly the first one bailed out. So I lost that one. The second one is doing ok. Some days its better then others. I've only had them for about 3 months. The colors are holding up, no problem. However, there hasn't been any new polyps yet.

I know what you mean about being guy shy. It's hard to spend alot. Fortunately I had a wonderful beginning. Where the pieces I bought did great. So that gave me the confidence to move forward. I know others who weren't for fortunate. Either they died or whatever. But it made it hard for them to spend that kind of money again.

I would say do what you feel comfortable with. :)

[andrewkw]

i'm not buying frags. I'm buying full colonies or at least quarter colonies. The one I posted earlier I had about 65 polyps of it. I still have about 40 of them.

if you want to move to canada i'll sell you frags :)
