Newly aquired Acans

retang 182 posts

These are the first acans I have ever had so wish me luck.  Everyone tells me they are the easiest coral to keep however I have heard that before. lol   any advice regarding these coral would be welcomed.
I am also including a pic of a 2 headed red something, acan? Blasto? let me know. I purchased the 2 headed one from LFS it had 4 heads but my room mate was using some Aiptasia-X with the pumps going and it got on them Killed dead.  However i did manage to save these two.  She now knows to turn pumps off, she thought reef safe meant it wouldnt hurt any other coral.....
  I give Russ credit because he is the one that sent them(pink & red) to me>>>>>>Newly aquired Acansthanks russ.

Oh really it doesnt look like the other acans, I dont know?  I went to the LFS and he gave me a killer deal, maybe once it gets comfortable it will open up fully, or maybe we need ASHLEY to ID it. lol  wait til you see the other 2 I obtained, a beautiful chalice (orange with teal going through it) and a Fava that has two types growing on the rock it is awsome.  will post pics tonight.

It is 6in X 4in, lets see who gets the price right everyone that is interested in taking a guess do so then I will tell you how much I paid. Now keep in mind that it was a fish store not person private sale.

 A piece with that size and beauty in nyc would go easily for minimum of $150.
