Yummy. Thanks Mike!

Actually, I love looking at the pics, not sure I dig them enough to pay those kinds of prices though. Not quite sure I "get it" with this fad. Then again, I wouldn't have understood paying upwards of $200 for zos or rics either.

I'm the same way. From what I understand, they are hardy, and grow relatively well. I'm sure by this time next year the prices will be more reasonable, although I'm sure still not cheap.
I'm the same way, I like to look but not buy. my tank just isn't setup to keep them. Although I was very tempted by a certain A.lordhowensis or however you spell it. It was "only" $140 for 3 heads at the time. Maybe someday, but I can't afford to put down that kind of money on 4 square inches of coral.

You paid $400 for that Mike?

$399 is a joke for that coral. Echinata are fairly common right now. Maybe $150 at the most

Oh heck no!!!! I run a store, I very rarely will ever dole out retail on livestock!! It has to be something super special for me to actually by something I see online, and fact of the matter is that Acanthastreas are popping up on a lot of wholesale lists, what you actually get is another matter.
I'm an sps guy that likes to get bitty frags and grow em out anyways

Hey Mike if you ever any Acan Lords pop in shoot me an email. The Echinata's are fairly easy to get but you never see any Lords.

I wish
If only I were a cherry picker in LA...
I don't spend enough money with any jobbers to get that kind of cool stuff. I get the same run of the mill you see everyone else has, sometimes even worse, sucks being a store on the east coast.
But I'll let you know, but trust me it will be getting fragged
