Whatup!

I'm running out of space but still want to collect new acans. So I thought I'd see if anyone is up for a trade. I can give frags of the ones below plus many others. I'm looking for extra crazy pieces. If you've got anything thats super special feel free to pm me pics and let me know what you like of mine.

Thanks,
Kris

#1
LED (both pieces in pic) The one on the right I've had for 18 months as a wild colony. Its color has been getting better every day since I got it.

LED - Top right black and yellow again got it with the same shipment 18 months ago, its been slowly getting better, I think it wants more light for even better color. The mouths have a baby blue streaking pattern

I've got a ton of acans that are all super happy and well fed. All the polyps I would cut for trades will be aquacultured (they were grown in my tank). Most of these photos were taken last night (LED) and this afternoon (daylight)

man those are nice what leds are you running?

Ive got powerbrites but I never ever run them during the day with the daylights. I only use them for functionality with taking nighttime pictures and viewing/feeding at night.


I wish my BHS acan was ready to frag:(

No teasing in this thread without pictures, lol. No really tho I would be all about trading with you if youve got some nice pieces. I like the fact that you feed your corals. Pm sent

I got it as a wild colony. You want to name it? Give me something good that hasn't been used already. It really is a nice piece. I've got to get some other pics of it next to some other famous pieces.

Got a trade in mind? Send me pics of your acan
