All the LFS around me don’t have names for any corals at all they’re just grouped by price so I really just pick based off color and my little knowledge of what will work well in my tank. Today I picked up a small acan colony. If anyone can ID what type it is that’d be awesome!

Looks like a favia more than an acan to me from polyp size. How big are the polyps?
As for designer names, they really don't matter.
 
They’re pretty small, maybe 3/8” across each. Little feeder tentacles are like 1/16” long, super short

My acan polyps are like half dollar sized so it may be a favia if its that small.
