    haha no i wish my tank was mature enough i'd be too afraid to make hte investment and then have it die, i was just curious if it was hard to take care of or more delicate because of the color. its the freaking brightest colorful coral i've ever seen.

    no it is no different to care for than any acan lord...it just gets the high price because the color is awesome. If you can keep other acan lords than this one would be no different other than how cool it looks!

    that pic looks photoshopped though!
    I have seen skittles acan and they are VERY neat..
    Acans are very easy to care for...I have 4 colonies right now. They like low to moderate light (will maintain the best color there) and like meaty foods. I give mine pieces of krill 2-3x a week.
    You can loose a lot of that coloration when you place them in your tank. Each one of my acans looks different from when I bought it at the store...personally I think my coloration is better, because they are healthier..but I have heard of people buying a rainbow acan and it turning into a simple red in their tank!
