Can't quite get the orange rings to pop or the greens and blues. My best acan. No kidding about killing everything, it has grabed things 2"-5" away. Nasty bugger.

That is crazy Peter, they were calling it the Sunset echinata, guess that is the new name. Mine is only 3 polyps but looks great.

Ah, sorry, my bad. It may very well be Sunset Echinata. I really don't recall. I'll admit it really only looks its best under my blue LED's, but WOW does it pop! I started with three heads that I got at CFM in socal.

I actually think they may have changed the name, so who knows now. Good excuse to call Victor and Lou. Here's an old pic of mine.

It's a very cool acan. You rarely see yellow (not orange, but more yellow) on one. It really makes the centers pop!

I picked up a piece of "Sunset Echinata" from WWc at Baymac, I posted it in the 3rd post at the beginning of the thread.

Worst part is how they behave for months until they lull you into a false sense of security, then eat something you really liked but were stupid and put 5 inches away!

These acans are like pitbulls man... sure, they are awesome but you gotta keep an eye on them.. the neighbors poodle ends up to close to the house and guess who is over the fence with a new toy haha.

LOL, well, since I don't keep mine on the porch outside, I don't really worry about what it "acually looks like"
