This looks to be unde natural light, was 299.99 now 199.99 do you think its worth it, I know opinions will vary but input would be nice...Reef Gen Rainbow Stripes Acan Lord Coral

IMO not at all but I'm not a big acan guy in the first place

All in the eye of the beholder, looks very healthy so if within your price range and like it then is a value IMHO.

Cheers, Todd

I love acans and that looks fantastic

RonnieBlack · Jan 9, 2014

I've been trying to trade for Acans I mean lop sided trades in their favor but can't get anyone to budge. I would trade my entire show piece of chalice for just one good head of acan...Its listed if anyone is interested its the size of a softball, never fragged or anything..Wonderful show piece and I only want one little head of acan lolz

For $199, yes. $299, no. ReefGen has some nice acans.

That acan actually looks ugly to me :/
I say wait for a live sale here. There are plenty of them.

Acans are awesome but most are cheap and in appropriately overpriced ime. These are cool BUT IMO not more than $50 cool

This is just normal acan IMO, I can't see any rainbow color in it.

Way better acans available for 199$

That's a great looking Acan, but not $200 great (definitely not $300!). I would pay somewhere in the $60 range for something like that. I would check out cherry corals. They have a lot nicer Acans for way less money than that.

Ultimately it's up to you though. No one is going to spend more time looking at your tank than you.

Also, Acans are famous for changing colors (for better or for worse) once you get into your tank. You might pop that in your tank and it could become a masterpiece. Or, it might not. lol

Like Jordan said, there are much better acans out there than that for that kind of price. I wouldnt spen over 50 $ for that but if you are willing to spend 200 id check out this baby. Much brighter and is a true rainbow
