Need Help ID this Acan.

96gts · Sep 15, 2011

Anyone has any idea what type of Acan this is? I have never seen a Yellow Acan before. Sorry for the picture quality, it was taken by a buddy's cell phone.

Hopefully it's not dyed. My guess is subechinata.

I was also thinking it is dyed or bleached, but from what the LFS told me, they had in for a while. They had sold a few frags and the remaining has been growing well. It's not that big, only about 3"x2".

Acan Maxima comes exclusively from the Middle East & is only found in Oman ... :angel:

I would lean more to the Acanthastrea Echinata specimen. How long has this been at the LFS tank and was it under dim lights 'cause I'm suspecting it would change it's "yellow" colors if exposed to bright lights.
