Acan ID Help

I can't remember the name of this guy. It's next to Holy Grail micromussa (lower left corner of photo).
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Are you asking if it has a name like "Bling Bling Micromussa" or asking what type of coral it is? I'm fairly certain it's a Micromussa lordhowensis (same as the Holy Grail). As far as trade names, that's all dependent upon the seller. Most are sold as either Acan lords or Micro lords. Some list the location it's from also. There are a few sellers that will give a name to their lords depending on the primary colors it showing.

Unless it's a Favia?

I’m assuming you’re asking about a trade name and like @tbrown says, they can vary from vendor to vendor. This goes for any coral you buy, where a Leptoseris I got from a live sale I ran into on another vendors site with a completely different one.

Asking if anyone recognizes it and knows the name that it is sold as (such as "bling-bling micromussa"). It's been a while so I don't remember the vendor.
Just thought I would put it out there

Without knowing the seller it will be difficult to figure out the name unfortunately.

Unlike SPS, a lot of LPS don't have specific trade names. The exceptions would be things like Favia and some Euphyllia.
