    Hey guys,

    I'm looking at picking up this Acan colony ... but am unsure as to whether or not its doomed already.

    I love the color ... I've never seen anything like it before, and the price is right.

    Would you buy it?:

    Health looks fine. The polyps just aren't expanded as it was recently disturbed for the photo.

    If it's the spot of skeleton you're worried about, don't be. You can tell it's old by the color. If there was bone-white skeleton showing, that's a problem.

    It doesn't look like it has anything wrong with it to me...

    I see the rock in the center, but it looks like it just grew around that portion- not that it is receding. Could be wrong, but that's my 2 cents
