Bowerbanki Acan versus hillae acan

[knightnsd]

added this beauty earlier this year and it has been growing pretty well. I dont know how many others are getting into the hillae and bowerbanki acans but this has become a star in my 300 reef, a close runner to the ECR Rainbow Hillae(bottom)

anyone have some similar acans to post, some of these rival some of the best chalices. Post them if you have them I know there are some others I missed out on or could not afford that are incredible to see

Bowebanki's all the way

Thx I really don't know what that big one is. Think I got two pieces from Louis and two from will

I like bower 2.. is that fused or just from a cool colony? and where did you get that one, like the dark on bright color contrast. picked up a mild one from vets that colored in pretty cool and a bleeding apple from Will that is growing out Ill post later this week. Also have a purple green one Will sold me.

It's all one colony, got it from will I think it's the one he called darth maul or something like that...

He still has some frags if it on the website although one he calls a bower and the other a hillae. I've also seen some people refer to this acan as bowerbanki hillae, confusing us even more!

[knightnsd]

thanks Naso I like it and am confused too. The bowers seem to have bigger heads from my experience or they may just be all mislabeled or just a matter of my tank and their growth. I split an acan with Josh T and funny how different they grew, same colors but the size of the heads are very different. Thanks again either way.

Grabbed that darth maul last weekend, pic to follow later this week on the thread
