Eye Candy: Aussie Acans

As requested, here are some pics. Just some general over the tank shots for now. I'll have to find the macro ones later.

Sorry, I'm not a vendor or anything. These are just some pics that I took when I stopped by for a visit.

Very inspiring, thank you. I see most of the colonies have the rock filled up. Do they work like zoas in that you can place a rock beside it & soon they will jump to the new rock?

Thx
Craig

They're scattered throughout CA at the moments. Found the macro shots; didn't take too many of them.



This one is unusual that only one of the polyps in the center made it into the colony. It's surrounded by all the other ones.




This one is in Fairfield.




One of the many rainbows.

wow, looks like I should sell high now, and get new acans at a later date after the market is totally saturated as it inevitably will be...Those pics are almost disgusting.

Very beautiful colonies though.
