    Well besides my famous snail, Corlitos, with the Porites on him, I've waited on corals. Well Thursday I picked up two Zoa's and then today I picked up this awesome Australian Acans. All are doing really well in the tank, The zoa's are open except for a few polyps that got bugged by a hermit. The acans has its tentacles out and is waiting to be fed. Just thought I'd share with you guys and gals.

    Thanks Steve. I'm with this 29gal for a year and then moving on to 100+. Need to make sure the love is lasting before taking the big financial plunge!

    great corals so many people buy cheapo brown corals when starting out(me included) so the biggest corals in the tank end up being the least colorful

    Each zoa was $15.99 and the acans was $72 so it wasn't a wallet massacre.
