Happy Endingz...the new Acan you may have heard about

Hey guys,

Here is the pics of Happy Endingz some of you may have heard about. Its a new acan, I have never, never, seen colors like this on a coral.

In the pics its still closed, I had just brought it over to Randy at A Reef Creation and we waited till it started to open up.

Here it is with flash



Here without flash



Here with some of Randy's acan's at the store



The best part is the polyps are huge, and the centers are a rainbow of colors when its open

I will try to post some pics with my camera, but its not neearly as good as the one we used at Randy's shop. Half of the colony is at Randy's store right now if you are going there this week check it out!

hahaha nice, Jeff.

I would have to take out another few student loans to afford half a polyp. All joking aside, great acan.

Hey jjj1100, sweet acan. I've seen those online being sold as rainbow acans. They usually are pretty expensive. Knowing RandyO, i'm sure you got it for a good price.

jjj1100 did not get the coral from RandyO, they actually split it. Randy has his half in the store, and I do not think he will be selling any for a while.
