Here any article that can fill you guys in on all the stuff Gresham was talking about. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-08/ebac/index.php
It is by Anthony Calfo and Eric Boreman so it is good stuff. It is funny that neither of the two experts can say for sure the specie of a live Acan. is but some guy on E-bay knows.
It also give some good insight on the whole "Rare" Acan thing. | |
