ID on this freebie!

[JustinTanks]

Just got this from a coral auction, it was the freebie with my other LPS purchases. I was thinking Favia or acan but I could be totally off. Any ideas would be great!

Agree on Acan.

It’s actually quite a large sized head, but I’m worried about it being a favia because I’ve heard they have large feeder tentacles. So I’m hoping it’s more of a acan, prayers please haha.

I've had acans with excessively large heads more like the look of a blasto but is still an acan nonetheless.

Thank you everyone! Glad I have an acan and not a favia haha.

Thank you! I’ve recently started enjoying the look of them and when I got the freebie I’m like okay this is a sign of maybe getting a good sized one haha. Do you know what type of growth rate they have? I imagine it’s kinda slow.
