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."

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.

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?
