Acan or Acan't

[Marco S]

I was sold the coral below as an Acan or "Micromussa Lordhowensis" but after getting a few other Acans and watching several care videos I am not sure it is. It never has the feeding tentacles out like the others and it just looks a little bigger and different.

I am going to be moving my corals from QT to the DT soon and am planning their locations very carefully since I already lost one Frogspawn head because I placed it too close to a Favia. Please help ID this coral for me!

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

So it was formerly an Acan that got reclassified? From everything I could find, (which wasn't much) I think I should be able to put it close to the other Acans with no worries.

Thanks!

You might want to check out @Hemmdog tank video on the next to last page... especially the right side of the tank. Just overlook the beautiful fish stealing the coral thunder.
