Secrets of Color-up Micromussa lordhowensis (Acan Lord)? 🌈

[@tookmyhandle2]

It's so cool to look at this video now and compare it to your current tank. My how those corals have taken off. It was always fun to watch the golden rod in particular. It's one of my favorite corals.

[@seangriffiths9163]

Once those selfs age and the sps grows it's going to look awesome on the side views. Absolutely love this tank its growing in beautiful.

[@burtminshew4812]

That is a dirt dobbler and is completely harmless. They eat black widow spiders and other spiders and are very beneficial moki

[@InappropriateReefer]

Thanks for the info! I just wish they did not pick a spot right where my head would be when I walk through the doorway! 😂

[@areyouarobotz]

These wasps in socal? I assume no but there's a ton of brown widows that need to be scorched to high hell

[@CalcioFan4Ever]

@@InappropriateReefer they can build those super quick, so dont feel bad about destroying it if you decide to

[@paulr2559]

I just realized since my birthday is on Sunday this year theoretically you posted this video on my birthday so I appreciate the gift that you meant for me

[@InappropriateReefer]

Happy birthday Paul! Hope you had a great one!

[@GamerGames1226]

Hey Moki can’t wait for the next video!

[@Reefspidey]

Those wasps are a type of potter wasp. They are very docile and hunt spiders! They don’t really get territorial of their nest since they are a solitary species

[@ethanspruiell2722]

Looked like a grade a welding bead 😂

[@InappropriateReefer]

Thank you for this info! I am trying to see if it's possible to gently convince them to move over a little bit...

[@SparkyHelper]

XD "Interesting right?" "No." "Interesting right?" poke "No no no NOOOO!" HAHAHA

[@multanemo]

Yep, they do! Love you, Moki!

[@ateshhastam]

Another inhibitor can be the leather. That is super close proximity and upstream of the acan. Allelopathy may be a problem for the unhappy acan. Moving it anywhere further away or upstream will likely help.

[@dede-jx7gd]

tank is looking great!

[@gabesreef]

After a couple water changes, I'm sending in my sample ati and I'm getting in on the shine

[@InappropriateReefer]

Eager to hear you experience!

[@lcphoto6847]

Hey Innapropriate Reefer! Be great to see a vid on what’s your radion’s intensity is to get those par readings. 🙏👌

[@InappropriateReefer]

Yes sir, I have 3 Radion XR15 Pros, the left most way is running a different intensity, I think it's around 45% right now; the right two are running at around 61%. All on 7 hrs schedule.

[@Richs_reef]

Tank looks brilliant!

[@MikeyColon]

I was looking to today's video!

[@MegaSaltinecracker]

Great information as always!

[@chrisw9806]

I'm a exterminator and that's a mud robber nest if you scrap the nest down it should relocate its storage nest.... they make those to store there food in ... normally other bugs that they kill to eat later

[@pete4786]

I've found the easiest way to remove unwanted xenia is aiptasia x. Just a small amount while they're opened up and you won't see them anymore. It's worked everytime I find a rogue colony starting to grow anywhere other than right where I want it.

[@TheWeirdguy6]

Clam is looking great. Ive heard a lot of fish will eat it though

[@williamwiese9963]

Hey great video! Do you have any sump videos?

[@somethinsaltybruin]

What’s up Richard! You look a little more handsome in this episode dude! Great video as always! 😎

[@SteveNoblin]

it is a mud dobber and wont sting but can bite. They have colorful tails on them in certain light

[@Harolddespui]

Video's with the wifey behind the cam commenting on you are the most entertaining by the way, should do them more often. ;-)

[@InappropriateReefer]

got to catch her in the mood!

[@so_so_reef]

I’m really struggling with acans as all the zoas around them are stretching like crazy for light but the acans are shrinking away from it 🤷‍♂️

[@darksidereefer]

Fox flames do well with lower light in my experience. The colors seem to be a bit brighter. Tank looks awesome though.

[@InappropriateReefer]

Thanks for the info; it's sitting at around 220 PAR at the moment, think the color may benefit if I bring it down a bit lower later on? (the color is a little darker and dull at the moment)

[@darksidereefer]

@@InappropriateReefer it could benefit. But it may do well at that par. Sick piece when they grow out.

[@bensimpson4091]

I could be way off but I thought torches hammers and frogspawn were ok to touch as they are all Euphyllia?

[@Boogerdick69]

I feed my Lords a lot. Polyps look like trumpets, huge polyps that sway with the flow. My lords looked like yours when I first got them, lords and Duncan’s are the only corals I’ve never ever had anything bad happen to and die, I’ve had both lords and Duncan’s and get ripped to literally shreds by anenomes only to come back a few months later and healthier than ever

[@madshepsreef282]

Ow man that par meter is some £notes, I do need something to measure my par

[@carminecarlone2869]

Delta powder on amazon kills wasps so quickly. I've used it a few times as I basically live in the woods and they like to nest inside my walls😑

[@headon6139]

reef 2 reef threads never worked for me it sucks

[@justinbandel5595]

Hey Moki love your videos man. Greatly entertaining. One thing you can try with acans is introduce more white light. I have two rainbow acan colonies that turned all red. I used to run all blues and now I run my whites for 5hrs a day in the middle of the afternoon. All of the color came back in these corals. I don’t have high priced lights on my tank so my white channel does contain reds and greens. I only run my white setting at 10% and all the color came back. Just curious if you run any other channels other than blues on your tank. 👍

[@InappropriateReefer]

Hey Justin, interesting info: I think I run my lights with a nice bit of white and not super heavy blue, but then again it's all relative. I will try to test with few legit rainbow Acan as soon as I can get my hands on some, and if they start morphing color on me, I will test with your method as well, thank you for the tip!

[@josephposada1830]

Inappropriate wild natural world 😜

[@Venomthegr8]

Use food grade diatomaceous earth for the wasp's make sure it's food grade

[@dlm1949]

Like the rocks on the wall,where did you get those?

[@InappropriateReefer]

those are from Reef Rax: www.reefrax.com/ I got the medium shelf and corner

[@BuzzingPlants]

Your tank never gets worse!!!

[@ozzyheather9242]

What was that lovely paly front, bottom right?

[@InappropriateReefer]

Grandis Paly - lovely but deadly (exaggeration... but use caution)

[@ozzyheather9242]

@@InappropriateReefer very kind, thank you!

[@trojon]

If you bring the acans back to lower par, will the new acans that grow be permanently red also or is there a change they will be the original rainbow colour?

[@emoney698]

Hey what’s up inappropriate reefer hope your doing good missed you at reefapalooza I’m down in Maryland a cpl times a year tho would love to come check out your tanks and Maybe trade some frags 🔥🔥🙏🙏👍🏻👍🏻

[@SNBI2A]

You tinker around with your tank way to much lol I feel anxiety with all the changes ha.

[@nathandesmond3641]

Add a playing sponge to your tank, they sell on live aquaria

[@InappropriateReefer]

I've tried 'em a few times... never had long term luck! I'll try again if I come across them!

[@b3tafresh766]

Please don’t try mixing a Chicago or a Colorado with a Rbta. I know a few people have shown it’s possible but a ton of people have lost CHSBs and CSBs from trying. In my opinion it isn’t worth the risk of killing a expensive anemone.

[@InappropriateReefer]

the dilemma... really want to keep a CSB but really don't want to give up my RBTA 😢

[@jobetq4528]

PAR near the Oregon Tort?

[@InappropriateReefer]

right around 200 at the moment; slowly walking it up more

[@stevefarmer6607]

Dirt Dobber wasp. Good wasp because it eats spiders. But they build nests in the worst places.

[@calipsosreefs4843]

My acan color turn back to their original color

[@InappropriateReefer]

May I ask what you did? Did you simply move it back to lower light?

[@calipsosreefs4843]

They take a lil while but all I have done is keep my nitrate and phosphate stable right now I trying to bring them down a bit more to see if the coloration improves and I think it will is just a slow process is what I notice for them to turn back,when it comes to the light I’m cooking mines at 125 par they been in higher par since I got them but I probably can try that putting them in a lower par and see I keep u updated

[@theuneducatedbiologist9637]

Where did you find your green toadstool please respond I really want one

[@InappropriateReefer]

the one on the column rock where the Acan Lord was came from a tank breakdown (not sure where the previous owner got it from); another green one came from Top Shelf Aquatics
