my first acan....good deal?

ive been searching the lfs's here for a reasonably priced acan and i think i finally found one. the few that ive seen here have been 200 bucks and up and they werent all that impressive. i found this one for 89 bucks so i grabbed it. its not as pretty as most the ones i see on here but i still like. the store i got it at had it under some really bright MH's and i dont think it was liking that very much. its color has darkened up alot since its been under my PC's







ive counted around 30 polyps or so and then theres 10+ babies growing on the back and then a few more on the sides. im happy with it

Thats a hell of a piece for $89, that would usually go for at least $200, good find.
