Re: Acan id

The "rainbow" acans are just a highly sought after color morph of the Acan Lords.

Re: Acan id

They must be sought after because the guy that sells them said the price would make me fall over , and his prices are among the best in my area. He also carries all aquacultured / captive bred frags, which I fully support.

Re: Acan id

A decent sized Rainbow Acan will set you back several hundred dollars usually. Probably 30-40 bucks a polyp depending on just how colorful they are.

Re: Acan id

At my LFS, A Reef Creation in Buffalo NY, they kind of specialize in Acans and other high end corals. For a non-rainbow softball sized colony they range from 125-300 depending on size and color. For a Rainbow colony the size of a frag-disk you are looking at those prices or more. Just to give you an idea.
