Acan ID and questions

[ewoolpert]

If it does happen to be M. diminuta it really isnt much different care wise
The reason there isn't much info on its captive care requirements is because, like I mentioned it gets imported and sold as a favia, same thing happens with many species of goniastrea, astrea, phymastrea, plesiastrea. if If you show the majority of these corals to a hobbisty, they will call it a favia.

I was just wondering if I can put other acans near it or if that is not a good idea. I know favia have longer sweepers and need to have quite a lot of space

No,I would not put any Acan's near it. Just coral of the same species.
