Way is the difference between a normal Acan and Acan Lord? I have noticed when you add the lord part the price goes way up.

Nothing really. Acan lord. is just the shorhand name for a Acanthastrea lordhowensis. Just like Monti cap is short for Montipora capricornis.

I think so, and most likely area of collection. Here is a link to some info: http://animal-world.com/Aquarium-Coral-Reefs/Acan-Lord

Some of the multi colored ones are very $$$$ I have seen some online web sites where they sell 2 plops for like $400

no way I pay that much for a coral.
