Hello,
I have this acan coral and it has been growing. I just don’t know what kind it is? The actual full name.
is this acan consider to be aggressive? I have it on the sand right now.
I would like to add a purple/red blasto next to it but not sure if that’s a good idea? Let me know thanks!

Acan lords (now properly classified as Micromussa lordhowensis) are not aggressive. They can't sting anything.

Blastos are similarly not aggressive.

Does that help?

Not sure I have ever seen a micro "sting" anything, but I have seen one attack with mesenterial filaments. Can't remember what it was attacking.. maybe some kind of encruster.
