Blastomussa?

Lfs guy said this was blasto, it's not that I don't believe him or anything I just can't any pics via googling that look like my blasto. In these pics the first is it in it's normal state. The last one was this morning when this morning after I fed it some brine shrimp.

 

Looks like an Acan. Acanthastrea Luna

 

Thanks! You're always so helpful luna!

 

Your welcome. Google Acanthastrea and see if you see anything like yours. Luna

 

Well it looks more like acan than blasto. Especially what I read about it being hungry all the time!

 

I agree the top pic looks dead on for an a.lordhowensis or acan lord as most call them.
They can be highly sought after, treat it well and it will reciprocate!

Nice piece and good luck

 

Nice find...too bad you can't trust your LFS.

 

WOW!!! they said it was a blasto?!?!?!?!?!?! you gotta be kidding..... i would deffinately look elsewhere for information.

 

The guy is a moron, he sells stuff out of this other guy's "we don't sell to the public" coral farm. He sold me two carnations, one he called "a kind of colt and the other he said was a chili" and a sea apple without warning me it would kill everything if it died. (Yes my fault for not knowing what I was buying, I know, I know) He's just in it for the money and never stops yapping to pay attention to what is going on. /shrug Killer prices though! lol


BTW I don't really consider this place my lfs, although I did say "my lfs called this a blasto" - my true lfs is very knowledgeable, however very expensive compared to the "we don't sell to the public" coral farm which does sell to the public under another name. (Because they have customers all over the country, which would be very upset if they knew they were selling to the public.) It's only a matter of time...
