Who has the best aussie acan's???

I am starting to love these. And I think my reefing skills are good enough to fork over that kind of cash now. So can I can some pics of different coor variations? And also who has the best Aussie Acan Colonies? TIA

I absolutely agree with AtomicRacer Jim is a great guy and his acans along with his sps are amazing to say the least. I know he is going to be at MACNA next week. I spoke with him this afternoon while I was picking up a few more pieces and he will be bring some nice material along. I highly recommend him. Here are a few pictures of the pieces I picked up today and a few other from a couple weeks ago. These pictures in no way do justice to just how much the colors jump!!! The pictures were taken under atinics. The newer pieces have only been in the tank for a few hours and they are not fully expanded.

These two pieces were bought a couple of weeks ago. The green one is called jaded. Frag had 2 full polyps and 2 half. There are now 7 polyps on this piece you cannot see them all as they are new and small, but what amazing growth.

Because aussie acans are the craze virtually every place has them.

Here are places that have them

diamondsinthereef
darklordcorals
eyecatchingcoral
fragglereef
colorfulcorals

and the list goes on and on

go look at the sponsors or the vendor experiences forum. You will find more online places and most have aussie acans.

The Aussies are everywhere I would check the seller forum. Got some of the craziest pieces from fellow reefers.

live aquaria
Fraggle Reef
Dark Lord Corals
Diamonds In the Reef
Reef Ready.net
Ebay has some sweet acan's as well
The list doesn't end so you will have to shop around and figure out what you are willing to pay for a frag/colony. They all have nice colored acan's enjoy your shopping as you can spend hours looking at them...

I am looking for first hand experience, since I have never dealt with any of these vendors. And with the prices of these colonies I would like to hear a Thumbs Up from other reefers.

Thanks for the inof for so far, I have checked out some of the sites. Some are new to me, and I will look at the rest. any other good ones you guys like? Thanks Tim

I have received corals from;

Live Aquaria, Fraggle Reef, Dark Lord Coral, ReefReady.Net, Ultimate Frags.com all of these vendors have worked with me on shipping issues and have been a pleasure to work with. Diamonds In The Reef lost the coral and gave me a heads up that the coral I purchased didn't make it. I have yet to have an order that was not as good as the pictures suggested or a vendor deny my claim when the coral sat in shipping over the weekend. We are fortunate to have such wonderful vendors and I am sure my list doesn't even start to touch the surface of the "good" vendors.

I've decided that this is becoming more of a vender experience than a WTB so I will move it there.
