Black Hole Sun Acan

[HeulittSalmi]

So on an auction FaceBook page I got this for like $20 and they called it a Black Hole Sun Acan, is this really a BHS? The other ones I have seen are super vivid and have brighter colors. This seller is usally pretty dang accurate with names but from what I've seen colonies of 5-10 heads of a BHS run about $250 +. At the end of the day, regardless of the name i still think its gorgeous and love having it.

Not to sure on a positive ID but I agree, it's a nice acan. I stopped searching for named acans since they change color so easily.

Honestly, I feel this way about most corals. At the end of the day its something that's nice to know, but whats more important is how good they look and how well they can thrive in your tank.

i could maybe understand the zoa naming thing...but the hyper specfic naming of acans is just on-its-face absurd.
