    Very easy to care for....moderate light, moderate flow, and I feed them like other LPS, some mysis shrimp or other chopped seafood, couple times per week ;D The look a little like rics in that pic, but they have a skeleton... ;)

    Thanks Sue. That's not bad at all. And a good return with some amazing patterns and colors. I can see why they are popular. :)

    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.
