Bought this four headed can last night for 18$ . The local coral/fish store owner said it would take it a couple days to fully regain it's color. Can I get an id?

Honestly, most acans don't have "names" like zoas and SPS do. Usually those that do have names have more rare color combination's and have been proven to hold their coloration over time.

^^ I agree. And I might add that imo the name is there so one can trace its lineage back to an original colony. Many times this LE lineaged colony was rarer or brighter in color than many comparable pieces. There have been a lot of wild morphs that look similar but after time the colors change and a skittles acan will look like a brick red acan.
