Got this one at the store today and they sold to me as acan. I brought it home and put in tank and then i realize there something not right about this acan. It got one large polyp with a shape like a Trachy squeeze in between the acan polyps. This large polyp got 2 mouth on 2 side but no skeleton border in between and as i know acan do not split like this, they grow a new smaller head at the side of existing polyps like blastos. So is this some other species of coral or its an acan being weird?
