Got this red striped LPS from my LFS as a freebie and I’m not sure what it is! Looks like a tiny acan to me, and ideas?
 
I see a growout tile with healthy colony of bubble algae, that also has a hitchhiker acan on the corner
 
Lol yeah I don’t mind the stuff until it start growing onto my corals which it clearly is here. Gotta take a brush to it some time soon!
 
I can't see the image

edit: nvm I can see it now, it's some sort of regrowing Lobophylliid, possibly Micromussa
