Acans?

Does anyone know where to get some fairly cheap acans other than from live aquaria or blue zoo aquatics?

I just got my first frag of Acans and I love the coloring and was looking for some more color strains to add to my collection.

 

evil reef, hes one of our sponsors... amazing stuff!

he goes by reefempire1 on ebay and he has auctions on there now: eBay Seller: reefempire1: Pet Supplies items on eBay.com

 

Thanks. I already have bid on some of the stuff on that site. I have bid on two regular blue crocea clams and hope that I win them because I cannot find reasonable clams anywhere near me!

I have also bid on some chalices because my LFS never has them. I hope I can win a couple!

 

Yup, several great deals on Ebay.

 

"reefkoi" is a good ebay seller. I recently bought four of his acans.

 

Thanks...I will look him up on ebay.

 

If you get one of the really colorful ones like a rainbow or pink make sure to keep it in low light. They're known to lose their color easily.

 

Okay. Currently I have two heads of a red with blue acan. It is almost on the sand bed, but I placed it in the rock structure because my Diamond Goby likes to steal anything that falls on the sand bed!

Would you recommend directly on the sand bed? I have a 48 in 6 bulb Current Nova Extreme Pro T5 for lighting.

 

Start it low and take if from there. There's a lot of variables, Kelvin, bulb wattage, tank depth.
My pink lost a lot of color and it's almost on the bottom. Some color is coming back now. I had 20K XMs for a while in a 24" deep tank and it seemed to like the higher K. But I think that's true with most colorful corals. Just not enough PAR for my other corals.
My red acan doesn't seem to mind being mid tank but I would still start yours low and move it up if you want it in a higher spot. I haven't noticed any color changes with my red.
Rainbow acans are the one notorious for turning dull colors after people get them home... usually due to too much light.

 

Well thanks for the very insightful information!
