Photograph of our Skittle Bomb Echinata Frags. You will receive a frag similar to those photographed. The Acanthastrea echinata, also known as the "starry cup coral," is a species of coral in the Lobophylliidae Family. Once grouped closely with Acan Lordhowensis, it is now considered the only true acan as the former has been reclassified as Micromussa Lordhowensis. Acanthastrea Echinata is also a large polyp stone (LPS) coral. The thick-walled, circular corallites of the Acan can appear joined directly to one another by fused walls (cerioid) or joined by fused compound walls (subplocoid). The vertical plates in the walls (or septa) have large toothy projections. The skeleton is covered with folded, fleshy tissue. Appearing uniform in color or mottled, the Acan can be found in seemingly endless color combinations and patterns. Acans are a truly beautiful addition to any reef. |
