Can any give a positive ID for these 3 acans? They weren’t labeled at the store, and they’re my first ever acans so I have no clue. If you need better pics I can try and get some when their polyps are more extended. They were just added a couple of hours ago so not fully puffed up

I had some similar to the green and purple that were labeled "toxic". very similar with the green and purple and very large polyp. Other is probably a rainbow of some sort. Nothing with any special name. So many Acans (micros) of similar color with a multitude of names depending on vendor.

Oh ok so they’re all the same species? Just different fancy names?
 
yep acan or micomussa lordhowensis, it wont have a name to it unless it has lineage or if you just want to make up a name.
For some reason rainbow is thrown around with acans a lot but it is a broad and i dont think very defined category
