Hey everyone,
I just added this LPS coral into my marine aquarium which is newly cycled or just about finishing cycling, and I got it off a private seller instead of a fish store and I can’t figure out what it’s called? I was told it is a rare deep water coral that requires low-light but can’t find any information on it. I’m Australian so I’d assume it’s mainly found in Aus but I have no idea what it is?

Its an acan coral. Easier to identify under white light intensity- no blue light

I’ll add a picture with just white light:
