Hello everyone,
I am glad to announce that the latter part of the Cherry's acan grow out has arrived at my house and is now relocated in my tank! The package arrived from Tysen yesterday at 10:37 am and was immediately unboxed, floated for temperature, drip acclimated, dipped in Lugols Iodine, and then placed on the sand bed of my 120 gallon LPS dominant reef lit by Tek T5's.
The package I received from Tysen was packaged ok, there was roughly 1/2 cup of water in each bag max, but all the acans were fully inflated and showed great colors. As soon as they were placed on the sand bed they put their feeders out, which is a great response. I plan to feed them Fauna Marin LPS pellets tonight. (Please note in the packaging picture the majority of the bags were from a seperate purchase of SPS from Tysen...not all are full of acans).
As for what was received, the bags were not labeled. I also only received four mini colonies, which I thought was incorrect. I text Brad (hosting the other subdivide) and he pointed out that in the original thread on page 29, post 287 there were five frags listed. I have no clue what happened to the fifth frag. Brad has 31 pieces (which constitutes all original pieces) and I only have four. Tysen said he shipped everything out, but dealing with him has been a major difficulty. I am not sure what to do concerning this last mysterious piece. He said some from Sexy Corals died, but that was not from this purchase.
As for the acans, they are looking very fat and healthy. Here are some initial pictures from unpacking and after acclimation on the sandbed. Let me know if anyone has any ideas, opinions, or anything else they want to voice. I am all ears and all emails are automatically forwarded to my phone.
I am super excited for these to continue growing out so everyone can get a cut of these amazing pieces! Enjoy!
Robert
