Re: A cool Zoa or a Acan

Acans are boring. They don't do anything. I just don't understand the hype surrounding them.

Re: A cool Zoa or a Acan

That's sort of a loaded question. You want to compare a soft coral polyp and a large polyp stoney. I've seen rocks with a 100+ zoa's, but I don't think I've ever seen a 100+ head acan. I'll take the acan....with 100+ heads

Re: A cool Zoa or a Acan

Some Acan Lords have unbelieveable colors.It would definitely be acans for me.They are the ''in'' coral right and I want to be part of the ''in'' crowd.

Re: A cool Zoa or a Acan

Alto and Biff you will be happy to know that I have changed my opinion a little on zoas I like the zoanthid sp. its the zoanthid giganta's that I think are boring.
