Twist my arm! I started with half a polyp:
And now have several:
I know it isn't the most unusual color, but it's my only acan.

Here's the one I have right now
If you're looking into micromussa also I have a 3 i can put up pics of them.
We're getting more acans later this week so I'll post up some pics of them when they come in!
The one thing I've noticed about acans is unless they're super expensive like $100+ per polyp they don't have a name.

Nice pics Melissa and Sara. 
I don't have any; but I'm thinking strongly on setting up an acan tank.

Sara that acan is stunning. Melissa, how long did it take for your acan to grow that much?

Thank you! More should be popping up this afternoon (hopefully) I'll try and get more pics up
I thought I would post a pic of my absolutely 100% FAVORITE acan. I don't have this one, probably wont ever have it.....you do not want to know how much this one costs!

Here is My new new one. Its getting acclimated as we speak. I beleives it is a red candy cane micromussa, which is just a smaller polyp of the acan lord, but its starting to look sweet. Its 5 full polyps and 4 1/2 polyps. |

I seen this acan on frag.org It is unavailable right now he said. I think he wanted like 250 to 300 for a single polyp.

I would go in on the purchase with someone who has a really good tank with the agreement that you get a polyp when it splits.
