I was searching on ebay and I saw that a seller was auctioning off some acan lords that were non indo ? did he specify this because they are rarer and can sell them for a higher price ? or what > I know that the acans a blastos are on a high demand and are pricey and this is due to the problems with collecting them > ? IDK just wanted to see if some one could calrify this. Oh btw I wasn't interested in buying them I doubt I would buy coral off ebay.

They supposely are more rare, therefore go for more money. I personally don't see the big difference.

Funny thing is that my acans, mostly indo, have change color alot from when I first got them becoming much more colorful with time, :D .

first off, i have had pretty good experiances buying coral off ebay, and there are some pretty reputable sellers, like "donvansreef" from Florida "josephlee" " and "blastoking" both based in Alameda california, among others.
the non indo tend to be nicer and harder to find which results in a higher price tag, so an seller trying to market his coral will emphasise it non indo'nes, which is pretty much just like writting, rare, or hard to find.
anyway there are some really beautiful indo lords out there in which i wouldnt discount. Check out Seans (sollby)pics on the board as he has some realy nice ones, as does Heurfan, Slamajama,(i thnk) Deanos, Phil, as well as others who im sure have but i just cant remmber off the top of my head.

can you post a link to the coral your refering to.

Well I don;t want to discredit anyone on ebay it jsut that I got burned once and it seems to be pretty harder to find a reputable seller. I mean you have no clue who these pple are some times and sometimes they exagerate what your actully gettting. Slobby, you mean that you selling them on ebay, sorry didn't know but I didn't mean any harm buy it. But mainly curiousity.
