:lol: That's funny, when I hovered over the thread link and all I could see was "I was told something like enchilada or something. sorry newbie..." and I was like, "Haha, probably enchinata."

Those acans you have are Acanthastrea Lordhowensis

[Slyguy00]

I would say Orange Crush Acanthastrea echinata

[Wheelman76]

There are also other types of acans out there as well like maxima and bowerbanki. Most of these types are pretty aggressive and should be kept a safe distance away from Acan lords. Make sure you keep that orange one in the first pic away from the one in the second pic Sean , as the echinata will kill the Acan lord quite easily.

[Wheelman76]

Never mind , I just repeated what Ryan said lol

[reefy]

Thanks for the advice Jess, I will move it right away. What about chalice? Would they kill the acan lord if I have it close by?

[Wheelman76]

Yes they will if they are too close. I find Acan lords will lose to pretty much anything in a fight. Some chalices seem to have barely any sweepers at all , and I've seen other chalices with very long sweepers. Take a peek at night with a flashlight.
