Is this a baby Scoly? It’s about the diameter of a quarter. It was sold to me as an Acan.

Pretty sure it's a type of acan.

I can't edit my above post. Sometimes pictures don't give enough detail to know for sure.
Acan micromussa or goniastrea. But, due to the texture of the photo, probably a goniastrea.

It looks like a 1 polyped homophyllia bowerbanki. That color scheme is not usually seen in acans/micromussas.
