Makes me remember the US acan craze when they were going for US $100-200 per head :rolleyes: Looking forward to more photos though!

Acan pachysepta. The majority in this thread are micromussa lordhowensis, not acans. Yes, it matters. Sorry, not sorry.

Really cool. If I saw that at a lfs I’d think it was a lobo

They were misclassified for years. Could have changed by now but Reef Builders had an article about them and there are/were no orange lobos.

Some of my lords

I'm trying to gather some interesting colors for an acan (micromussa lordhowensis) garden. This was my price piece but the colors have shifted as they often do under different lighting.

However, some of the others have put on some brighter colors by contrast and the new heads are sparking with unexpected hues. I need to try and capture them on camera next. These corals are such an interesting mystery sometimes.
