Wife and I went to wwc on the way back from a weekend trip and she picked this coral out. I was told it was an acan but it doesn’t look the other acan I bought at the same time. Just trying to get an id for help with lighting and flow.

Make sure you give it some space, they have some aggressive sweepers and can do quite a bit of damage to neighboring corals.

Sweet thank you all it’s got a good bit of distance I’m very cautious about my spacing I’ve got a space invader pectinia and it’s got some insane sweepers. So far I’ve had this piece for about a month and I’ve seen it at all hours and haven’t seen any sweepers anything close to that of that space invader.

Appreciate it everyone !
