It's an acan lord. Low light or it will turn orange/red. If you have stable water perimeters to its liking. They can be hardy and fast growers.
Impossible to tell if if was ever a named acan. Most are just fragged from massive colonies.
 
If it does turn orange red is that bad? The color has oranged up a bit since I got it from the store but all the other colors are brightening up as well
 
Red orange is very common. Especially noticeable in rainbows. Many collectors consider a true rainbow to have 5 colors. But color morph can happen in 3-4 color acans as well. Pink and green acans do not seem to morph for me. Just ones that have more than 2 colors. They will loose all that color difference you now see. It will be red orange all over. I have bought several rainbows just to have them look like a 10$ a head acan in a month. If they morph. I have moved the colony to lower light and the new heads will resort back to multi colored look.
