I know the one in the back is a Acan and the one in the 2nd pic. questions :
Is the coral closest a Acan also? Favia?
Can you tell if they are Acans if they would be good neighbors? (Same species)
Tanks!

Looks to be a Favia. Be cautious if it is a Favia, I have seen them have exceptionally long sweeper tentacles.

Certain types of Favias or most Favias you think have long Sweeps?
 
That is definitely longer than what I thought. In my mind I was thinking a Chalice or hammer might extended that long.
Do you know if most Favias get along with other Favias or does it depend on each species?
Can't say for certain about all but all the ones I have ever owned have, indeed, shockingly long sweepers. Makes you wonder where they hide them. A fine example of that can be seen here...
