    A wholesaler in LA sells snall acan frags for about $20. Each frag has between 3-6 heads. Id say he baught a bunch of colonies and fragged them up. Making him some profit. He then probably got tired of those acans frags that he kept.

    Just a guess. Great prices.

    Very nice! Maybe the second one will be a color you don't have yet.:) I was going to pick up another acan from the LFS, his are the same $25 for about 7-8 heads. But then were all the same color.

    Good luck, can't wait to see them with the lights on.

    I love Acans. Amongst my favorite species of coral.
