Acans the 2019 fad???

mort · Jan 3, 2019

Funny to see these mentioned as a fad because they were massive in Europe 4-5 years ago but have waned a little in popularity since then. Everything seems cyclical and the first fad I remember was chalices, then acans which changed into scolys (I know homophyllia) and then orange torches and hammers. Zoas have been strong throughout and mushrooms have equally been popular.

Acans have always been a frag gers dream, simply to cut, low mortality rate and decent return. So I think they are always going to be popular.

I have always loved Acans! or Micromussa for the new school. The Garden is slowly building :)

I don't really care what they're "legally" named nowadays, they're still Acans to me ;). My old brain can't move fast enough to remember any new names. As for me the term "micromussa" was specifically targeted for much smaller polyps species that was collected from Japan/Taiwan waters back when all the hype was.

Micro = sized lesser than "small" no? ;)

Well then, what about Micro-Lords, as suggested by my fellow enthusiast a few posts back? Or perhaps Microm-Lords (Microm isn't even a word, so it certainly doesn't mean small)? Or even Microcans and or Micromcans?

Thanks,
