Heres one of the best acan echinatas I have ever seen. I wish I saw this thread before I cut half my colony up. I will take some pics of the rest of the colony tommorow if I have a minute. I cut these frags up to give some to my close friends for Christmas. I have never seen any other coral that gets this orange, other than a sunset monti in high light. Plus it has purple mouths, It really just glows.

Shown fragged up with a piece of sunset monti for reference.

And a Christmas frag.

Heres a nice rotundo as well, Small, but nice.

You cant see it since its growing under its disk but the rotundo gets a green rim too.
