Acan ID

[Reefer37]

Picked up this acan for like $15 and loved the almost pastel colors. Any idea on what type of acan it is? Or will I have to wait till I get more than one head?

That's a nice micromussa lordhowensis. As far as vendor names, not sure.

My guess would be one of the many variations of the rainbows we see. If under led and lower par it will likely color morph. At least that's what I see with my acans. My lords that started as blue and red have added more colors to the mix over time

Awesome, was hoping he was a lord. Any idea if these could be next to zoas?
Saw Eat Sleep Reef have a zoa garden with acans in it and really liked the look and figured I'd try, just wasn't sure what types would work.

That will be hit or miss. I've had rastas growing next to a large trachyphyllia with no issues while some other zoas growing close to a millepora that had issues.

HaHa! I got the same idea from him! I loved that tank he used to have. Its probably the one that inspired me to get into the hobby!
