So back in 2015 @CherryCorals had a live sale and I bought a coral in the after-sale (extra 20% off). It was listed as "Acan Maxima, with potential" and was "only" $100 after all the discounts so what the heck?

I've been nursing this guy along and it slowly settled in and started to color up. Didn't really grow much for the first 2 years, but kept getting deeper coloration, adding more green. Then some purple started showing up. Today, wow it is sweet.
Couple top down shots (not great pics, but shows how insane the purple has gotten on the center)

Nothing good happens fast in this hobby. Sometimes taking a chance and going with your gut pays off.
Thanks for looking, hope you enjoy!!
