    LOL let me get a better pic in the morning and lay off my glass! My build thread has pics where the coralline is almost 80% in coverage.

    Doesn't look like a bower, the ones I've seen have a smooth appearance. That almost looks like a cynaria crossed with an acan. Lol. Looks cool though, giant acan.

    Yeah its almost certainly not a maxima. All maximas in the trade are either scolys or lobos or the like. I guess acan maximas only are found off the coast of Oman. I dont think its a bower though.
