My question is basically what the title of this thread asks, what colors etc. are folks looking for(I like the reds;))..... whether they be one solid color, ultra rainbows, or 2-3 colors.
I should have the opportunity over the next several months to aquire a few different acan colonies and will be fragging and selling about 3/4 or so of each colony to help cover my costs. If there is enough interest in ultra/rainbows I can do my best to try and get a couple, but at the moment I'm not sure if there are alot of folks willing to pay $15-20 a polyp.
Also, would anyone prefer large frags/small colonies? So far most requests have been for 2-6 polyp frags.
Thanks for any and all input:beerchug:,

ps. I want to thank everyone who bought/traded frags with me at the SWE meeting, it was a really cool to meet you folks and I hope all goes very well with the corals you got from me. I also want to thank Fritz, Li, and the swe staff for a great meeting:biggthumpup:
pps. On tues. I picked up a really nice red center with electric blue/light purple rims acan, might be awhile before I frag this one..... its pretty:nuts:

It was great meeting ya Doug, i'd say the rainbows are probably in demand, but a mixture of orange, yellow, pink, blue would be eye catchers.

Intense pinks and greens sound good to me.

Thanks for the comments guys!!! There is a chance I might be picking up a pink acan but we'll see I guess...... Also might get a small ultra(orange,blue,red, etc).
For now here are a couple pics of what I got in tues. morning....
This might very well be my new favorite coral;)

Awhile = this tuesday;) Just got another acan(red/pink/light blue/orangeish lime mouth ultra) and really have to make room by fragging up what I have and moving them up to the frag racks.

Ok, here is a less than great pic. of my 3 newest acans. The one in the back has red,pink,light blue with lime(?) centers. I have frags of these three(cut about 2 weeks ago) plus of 4 other acans that I've already posted pics of.

Also have 4-5 frags of the green teal eye goniastrea which looks pretty sweet and seems to be very hardy.
The only acan I don't have a frag of for the moment is the red/pink,teal one that Shanedolan has in his avatar.
Most of the acans will be about $5-$8 a polyp, with the lime centered acan at about $12 per polyp and the red with electric blue rims at about $9 per polyp. :goldfish:
I have one more new one coming tomorrow and am going to try and get one more ultra in the next week or so.

ps. I will start a new acans for sale thread with pics and prices hopefully in the next week or so.
