This beauty was at my local Petco marked as a green and gold hammer colony.:rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
After talking with the kind associate I negotiated a $20 purchase instead of the advertise $89.99.
My initial thoughts is that it is an Acan, but I'm not completely convinced. These pics/vi are from my tank where it has been for 4 days now.
It is very happy and has a crazy feeding reaction. The video is from early morning prior to the lights coming on.
What are you thoughts as to this corals real ID? Thanks!

From the mouth, I don’t think it’s an Acan. Doesn’t look like a lobo either. The feeding tentacles look more like scoly tentacles and the mouth does too but it’s not a scoly. How long have you had it? It may need to fluff up more for us to really see it’s true nature.
 
I've had it for just over a week now. The tank at Petco wasn't the best environment for it. It's amazing the amount of feeding tentacles that are out in the morning before the lights come on.
