Hi Everybody!

I picked up a used system several months back and started integrating it with my main system. This coral, which the owner claimed was an acan (and it may be), was rather sickly looking at the time.

The colour is starting to come out, although my phone camera does not handle the tank lights very well and they just came on, so it is not the best looking right now. It is a deep purple, and the orange on the inside is starting to show more and more every day. The largest head is probably close to 2" diameter, and they all have really started to grow in the last few weeks.

Can anyone identify this coral?
