They are rare in the hobby. It really doesn't matter if they are rare in the ocean or not. It's what's availible in the trade.

Indo acans look bland and dull in comparasion. It's not even close. Sure there are nice indo acans but the aussie ones blow them away. All colours of the rainbow. They are pretty easy to keep and grow out.

Also the collections will not be as frequent as indos. No one can expect aussie corals to arrive weekly like the 1000s of indo corals. if the ban is brought back then it will be next to impossible to get more.

Once you see them in person you will be greatly impressed. I've seen about 75 acan colonies in person and every single one was different. Even the polyps on the same colony can be different. They are truely the cream of the crop.
