Coral id please Acan or something else?

Hi I picked up these two at the weekend from my LFS. Was told both were Acan but after looking at some other pics struggling to say for sure if they are both Acans or if one or both might be something else like a lobo or scoly any help would be appreciated thanks to fine tune their care.

Thanks I did wonder the same tbh. Good job I didn’t put them next to each other like I originally planned .

Awesome thanks good to get an idea to sort out final placement etc.

1. Acanthastrea pachysepta
2. Micromussa sp., depending on collection locality, either lordhowensis or amakusensis

Thanks both seem to be doing good in the tank but good to know what they are in terms of aggression issues.

Pachyseptas are very aggressive
