A couple new Acans

Well I picked these up today from eyecatchingcorals. These pieces are sweet. Jim's a good guy and I'm lucky he only lives 20 minutes away. I have several others but have to get some better pictures. Pictures were taken under atinics only.
Enjoy I certainly am.

I just picked these up this afternoon so I don't yet have under full lighting. I'll take some tomorrow and post in the evening. I'm going to try and get some shots tonight with the sweepers out hopefully. I was not really into the LPS until I saw the colors on these pieces...hopefully the colors will remain and not was out we will see.

Well here are a few more shots...I really wish I had a macro lense.
Two of the piece have not yet fully opened. The other five have opened nicely. This morning when I checked them before lights on all had their sweepers out. I also hand feed them some mysis tonight. The picture of the Green Monster show the top middle polpy almost finished with a piece.

The one up front is called orange halo. The picture does not do it justice.
