I finally had the "sand" to cut my acan colonies up.
Here is the first colony (colony # 1), im not sure the name but i got them from felipe for $300 for about 10 small recovering polyps. (i paid for a 3rd of a much nicer colony but he didn't get around to cutting it until after if fell upside down in the sand while he was in cali, and it's kind of hard to get money back from him.) patience did pay off though... in the form of this.

and here is the rest of its family

so, after having fun with the dremal tool...
this piece of colony #1 is $30. it has 2 heads and 2 babies SOLD... but i have many more like it.

the rest of colony # 1 is $15 per head, there are about 5 other frags of colony # 1 with anywhere from 5 - 10 heads on each frag... i can cut them if you want fewer heads. here are a few of their pictures (forgive my lack of picture taking skills)

Acan # 3...Blood red acans
these are the sexiest red acans in the ocean. i only had 5 heads and 2 of them were partially cut so those arent for sale. the only piece i have for sale is this 3 head piece and its $70
(its the deeper red ones behind this colony)

then there is this one with hot pink in the center. it has 4 heads and a partially cut 5th and 2 babies that i can see. its also $70
(its the main one in this pic)

now for some zoas:
this is the mother eagle eye colony:
http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii108/joelb69/Frags/DSC05718.jpg
5+ heads for $10
http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii108/joelb69/Frags/DSC05724.jpg
10+ heads for $20
http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii108/joelb69/Frags/DSC05714.jpg
these are Ring of fire zoas:
10+ polyp frag for $20
http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii108/joelb69/Frags/DSC05719.jpg
radio active dragon eyes $1 per polyp.
1 5+ polyp frag = $5
1 10+ polyp frag = $10
http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii108/joelb69/Frags/DSC05714.jpg
and last but not lease, purple people eaters. these are the most elegant zoas, when they form a colony they are show stoppers. they are not center pieces, they are the back drop that completes the reef.
1 polyp is $20
2 polyps are $30
3 polyps are $45
