Chris those are pics of the "famous" Acanthastrea family of corals.
They are LPS and have been the recent rage in reef-keeping because of there crazy colours, although that seems to be dying down now until our freinds south of the border come up with another coral they are willing to pay outrageous prices for.

[Malvado]

What is the name of this coral?

[Reef Mike]

That is a Dendronephthya. Non-photosynthetic, and very difficult to keep in captivity. One of the most spectacular corals out there.. too bad its so hard to keep alive..

hello everyone

yes i can get mantis shrimp, they are easy to get. i have my largest shipments yet coming in about 2 weeks time ill bring in about 5 or 6 for you.

the purple blue coral is sold, and yes it was an acanthastrea. the three acans that came in this shipment where extremely nice. frags of them are selling for 80 dollar per head south of the boarder.

that coral is commonly called a carnation coral. Dendronephthya
it requires low light, low - medium water flow. it is non - photosynthetic. it requires regular feedings of brine shrimp, and phytoplankton. we found that these corals take very well to Reefroids. we have 2 of these left.

still all kinds of very nice corals in stock. Tonga corals came in large and shipping price was out of this world. almost all larger corals where fraged to reduce prices, and so everyone would be able to get a chance at the different ones.

[Jonny]

5 or 6!! :) how much? and are they peacock? think you'd gimme a deal if i bought them all? ;)

[Neovision]

Please PM me if you can get any Lysiosquilla species of mantis shrimps... In particular I'm looking for Lysiosquilla Maculata aka Zebra or bumblebee Mantis...

And do you have a link to more information on Acanthastrea?

[ryan_lalande]

yeah i can get 5 or 6. if i may ask, since they cant be kept together what are you going to do with 5?

yeah that other type is always on the list...ill order it i am curious just to see what it looks like.

Hi Ryan
How are you? You haven't tell me how much are them.Why???
Is this the answer(the purple blue coral is sold, and yes it was an acanthastrea. the three acans that came in this shipment where extremely nice. frags of them are selling for 80 dollar per head south of the boarder. )
Are you priced this Acan $80.00/head?Need your help!!!
Thank you very much!!!
Chris

[ryan_lalande]

hello

sorry about that. that acanthastrea sold for 150.

the acans are selling for 150 - 175 dollars for the entire colony. on the ones i have left there are about 60 heads on the one acan, and at least 70 on the other.

generally my regular Indonesian acanthastrea will go for about 60 - 70 dollars.

[Chrismo]

Whats that in pic 2 and 3? looks like Acan too, but huge, and a single polyp. Very jaggy septa too.

Donut Coral? or Lobo?

[Jonny]

i got 5 or 6 tanks, I just want 2 peacocks just wondering how much for the pair?

[ryan_lalande]

they are encrusting donut corals . very very different from the standard indo variety. that orange ones was awsome ive ordered like 30 of them for the next shipment which i will be posting about soon.

i think the shrimps are about 30 - 37 each. but ill know a for sure price when they land. i am going to order some anyways so let me know if you wnat me to hold anything for you. allot of it depends on the size they come in.thanks

In the tropics, it is larger and sometimes colonial, but not encrusting.

[Jonny]

Hold me one for sure :)

[reefdr]

tongas look very healthy. i'll be stopping by.

[ryan_lalande]

thanks guys

thanks for the proper identification kase, i wasn't really sure myself how to describe it.

its LALANDE not Landry. there are way to many people who think we are the same person. NOPE

[Chrismo]

Dang I did it again, sorry. From now on I'll just leave it as Ryan.

[c.tai]

Thanks
Now I know your price for Acan.Will come to your store again.I was there last weekend a very classic reef store build in missauga.Most of the price are shows on the holding tank.But not all of them.Thanks for your reply!
Chris

[ryan_lalande]

thanks

i am going to be listing all of the prices from now on. i am going to start labeling the different corals systems with pricing. as in all corals in vat one 40 vat 2 50 vat 3 60, and anything that doesn't fit into a general category will have its own sticker for pricing. much less confusion that way and more fair for everyone.
