Killer Acan Lord Centerpiece for my reef!

Well... anyone that knows me, knows that I've been eyeing Acan lords for a while now. I recently purchased a beautiful Acan lord with around 40 heads.

Well I've scored BIG!!!

I've been working on this deal for over a week now, and it's finally come to fruition!

Here's my latest find... A red Killer Acan Lord that measures a whopping 9" x 7" and has over one hundred heads!

This is the vendor photo... I'll be getting it in on Tuesday and you know I'll be posting photos.



So chop shop will commence next week... who wants a frag???

Sorry folks... I was just kidding about fraging it.

It's going to be the main attraction in my tank...

It would be criminal to cut that bad boy up...

It's a deeper more intense red than what I already have... I'll post some better pics as soon as it arrives.

Can't wait!!!

Beautiful Acan! I bought two from Mr Coral and I love them. They are really vibrant.

Awesome coral. I have only seen a few that size. Most gets chopped up pretty fast. Great Find.

Re: Killer Acan Lord Centerpiece for my reef!

The vendor had told me 9"X7"... but it's more like 7 1/2" X 6 3/4"

But it's still HUMONGOUS compared to the colonies I have seen around going for $600 +.

The vendor was right about the head count... it definitely goes over 100 heads!!!
