Like I said the only one that I know the name of is the Master Acan. I did absolutely no color adjustments. This is about 100% what they look like in person. The rest you guys can fill in the blanks. Once we identify them I'll get a head count. Like Jorge said there are a couple that don't look great.

Thanks for the update, Richie, the master looks sweet.

Do the poor health acans eat? I have had acan recession before and feeding mysis has seemingly helped in those situations.

Looks like most of them are happy, thanks for the pics! Man that master acan just looks ridiculous!

Thanks for clearing that up I was curious what ended up getting shipped to, do you still have the three that aren't looking too good? How are they doing and do they stand a chance?

Just wanted to show how well these guys are doing. Very puffy looking acans. I do think the master acan is losing a little red color and turning slightly orange. In sure this is due to the LEDs. The rest of them look great though.

Wanted to check up and see how they were doing Richie. Still got some of those chalices leftover from your move? May be looking for a few choice pieces toward the end of the month once I get setup in my house next week haha.

Ill take some pics today or tomorrow. Things look good though. Lots of babies on all of the frags and the one frag that was looking rough looks to be aging some flesh back.

Shoot me a pm about what you might be interested in and ill hold them for you. I have two guys thinking about taking the majority.
