Acan Question

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.

Some of the multi colored ones are very $$$$ I have seen some online web sites where they sell 2 plops for like $400 :crazy: :crazy: no way I pay that much for a coral.
