    are they comparable to montis? or more like acros? (growth-wise)

    :D How humble of Anthony to claim he started the acan fad :D

    EDIT : It was in fact Eric who said something along those lines

    Acans actually grow rather fast, especially if fed. I too am amazed at the high price tags for this particular coral. That being said, here's my wee lordhowensis frag...

    [​IMG]

    I paid $15.50 for this on eBay. To offset the cost of shipping ($45), I gathered up a bunch of members from my local MAS and setup a group buy from the vendor. I was able to get the shipping cost down to $7.50 each and we all got some really nice coral. I even got some limited edition, Steve Tyree rainbow montipora danae! :eek:

    In the words of Napolean Dynamite... "LUCKYYYYYY!"


    Spill the name of the ebay seller.
