I have kept softies, sps, and lps. Lot of acros and montipora for research due to ease of gluing. Had blastos, acans, candy canes, GSP, zoas at home.

Current rock scape. I am building it with my 5 yo daughter, and she loves rainbows and purple, so I want to try and get more color, but still have it fill in nicely. (and one super fluorescent green/orange for me...hehehe)

Get Asian acans - game changer in the acan species

Or Goni comes in lots of colors

I figured you may be best to chime in on this one. I would be careful with thr caribsea rock as it will looks cool but can potentially leach things in some instances. I'm sure you understand it's no quicker to becoming good live rock than just white dead rock. If you have the means..a piece or two of kp aquatics live rock (or another type) would help speed things along. Vintage has the right idea for Asian acans and gonis. Both are colorful and the gonis will provide movement in which a 5 year old will love too!

i dont have any Live Rock around, couple Fresh Water stores within a few hours. I looked into TBS and some other places, but it doesnt make sense to order even the smallest pack since I only need a piece or two to see. I ended up using Dr Tims and fish food to try and get the cycle started.

they are just literally called asian acans...wow
Yes. It’s a different species and not much documented on them

They are more like a cross of a button scoly (which is actually acan species and not scoly) and an acan

They are size of button scoly, and get very unique colors and patterns, but they reproduce the same as normal acans. Also the Asians like light and don’t fade out or morph to red, unlike regular acans

How big of a piece you need. I can put one in a USPS priority box and send it to you

Ohhh, long day at work. Trying to find the energy to dip and place corals. Glad I didn't get a brownie!
Wife floated everything for me when it arrived. Yay!
Let the fun begin :)
Just get a 20 gallon and a heater. Boom all at once. Frag rack.
