Black Acan???

[bobo33]

Picked this up today. The dealer said it is a black and pink acan. Its not a great picture, I took it from my phone so it does look a lot better in person. Is it considered a black acan? And is it as rare as he says it is? I also picked up this nice little prizm brain. What do you pepps think?

Looks purple to me.

Black acans are very rare, and I am still not sure they exist...have not ever seen a real one, or a picture that was clear enough to convince me.

Looks like a standard dark red with some pink and blue. The new polyp is also a good indicator.Cool acan, but wouldn't call it rare. Any better pics?

Doesn't look very black to me. Hows it look in person, is it really black or dark red/purple? Tell your dealer he needs glasses.......

Unless this colors down a lot, this would be enough for me to switch to a different LFS if possible. I would be annoyed that he would lie to me about a color.

I've seen a black acan in person. It did not look like this. Was just plain black. Nice acan you got. I hope you bought it because you like how it looks. that's always a good reason to choose a peice.

Keep it lower in the tank if you want it to stay dark. More light and it will lighten.

i have seen a black acans in person and it was as named....black. there was no pattern on the rim. it was just solid black under whites, blues and combo LEDs.

Bold claim

I am going to bump this thread everyday until we get a picture in here

 

[carverbeezkneez]

I would love to see, let alone have an all black acan in my collection.

 

[footballdude2k3]

Bump

 

[s_kelley]

Anyone have a pic of an all black? Never seen one before

 

[mayjong]

won't believe it till i see it.
never seen a black (live!) coral of any kind.
the closest is black sun coral...

 

[eyesinthedrk]

ok let me rephrase the rim was black the mouth i believe was yellow. this vendor was at the last two frag swaps if he is at the next one at the end of april and has some more i'll grab a pic. it was ironic cus im trying to fill my tank with color and hes trying to sell me a black coral. it proved to me how we are the most retarded "keeping up with the Jones's" consumers in the world. that and the 1/4" x 1/2" frag of yellow leptoseris on sale for the low low price of $550.00

 

[bobo33]

OK, here it is. This IS NOT my acan. Its a stock photo of an acan being sold for big money off of a dealers website. It is what "they" call a black acan. After comparing the two, it is fair to say that mine is not a true black acan. But here is the real mcCoy

 

[footballdude2k3]

Yea, just as I have seen around, "black" really just means green

I wouldnt consider these black but they are a dark purple:
