Awesome - good thing you snagged him and recognized his potential.

Very cool, nice grab and great colors

Very nice. Shows what a little work can do to help bring back a coral.

I NEVER throw out skeletons until they have been completely bare for a minimum of one month for this very reason. =]
And even then, when I "throw them out" they just go in my sump, which has a light anyways so there's still the chance of grow back.

Very nice catch! Telling by the algae growth on it, wonder if it either couldn't get enough light, or was just smothered in general by algae and maybe sickened by poor water quality.

Looks like an orange crush acan, either way it's awesome

 

[s_kelley]

Looks like acan echinatia (spelling?)
Make sure you give it plenty of room, the one I had had crazy sweepers

Looks like orange crush to me too. But idk the difference between maxima & "enchilada" lol.

Never heard of maxima either

 

[gsxr750]

The heads are almost twice the size of crush or enchiladas but I know the maximas are only found in one tiny spot where harvesting is restricted so iam not to sure what it is

Wow, great job. Looks great!
