I bought these two drags and wanted see if anyone could ID these as an Acan sp. Or Micromussa sp. The guy at the LFS called the Acan lord, but I know the taxonomy had changed.

I tried to seek help in IDing from the guys at reef builders. I watched a lot of their vids and I know Jake likes correcting people on this. Without even trying the brushed me off to some Facebook forum. Tried to get help there but they never approved my post.

Anyone have a clue? I know they are referred as Acans. I am looking for more depth. What Acan sp. Or what Micromussa sp.? If it's even possible to tell.

Acan lords have been reclassified as micromussa lordhowensis. They are still called acans by most of the hobbyists, but they are technically micromussa.
