Sweet Lords!

Hopefully these make a huge come back in popularity. There's very few coral that offer the color variety of acans. Those that enjoy the blue light look, its doesnt get much better than acans when turning your LEDs to all blue.

if you were in the hobby 8 years or so ago you know what I mean by being popular. They were like chalice was a couple years back. Everyone had to have as many as possible and the collectibility was at its highest. Yes, people still love acans but there's little to no demand compared to years back.

I remember buying a colony of the now common red and gray "peppermint" color acan for around 230$ back in 05-06. There were about 12 heads on the colony btw.
