Are micromussa and acans still popular

I was just wondering if acans and micromussa were still popular corals. I don't see the high prices being paid anymore. Just wondering if they had fallen out of favor or popularity?

Recently, in Chicago, there has been a new surge in interest.
A lot of the LFS have them and in varying colors and sizes.

crap I still see crazy high prices for the nice stuff. I think the days of the brownish red acan colony going for $300 is gone. But Micros are huge for LPS I'd say.

The question is what is the next "BIG" thing and stock up the tank.

Zoas seem to be stealing the thunder more lately.

Zoas are nice. I just did buy an acan about the size of a football with purple green colour.

Thanks for the replies. I was considering buying some acans and micros. I didn't want to to overpay for them.
