So bought an Acan from the LFS which was a nice red color, was told to put in my sump for 2-3 days. At this stage it had no Rainbow streaks in it.

After 72 hours I took it out and placed it in a low light area of the tank.

Another week later this is the result. Wish I had taken a before photo of this coral. The colors have really decided to pop .
