Help identifying acan

[migs]

So I am starting my collection of scolys, micromussa, and acans... I picked up these two... The one on the right looks like echinata but have no clue about the one on the right... Very flat and bigger than my other acan lords. Any ideas?

Flat sounds like echinata but its hard to tell from the pic. If you could a better close up it would help.

Ok - trying the picture thing again. Let see if these are better. :wink_smile:

Better photos for sure. The coral on the left looks like it may be a baby Meat Coral (acanthophyllia), echinata in the middle, and Button Coral on the right. Where did you get them?

Yeah, the one on the left is definitely different from the others. I will look acanthophyllia and see if i can get better identification.

I bought all of them at my LFS. The button coral came from Aqua Dome - it was a bit pricey. The other two came from AquaTek from their cheap frag tank - figure worth a shot to see what they turn out to be. :shades:

For sure. I'm pretty sure that's a Meat If so then you likely got a heck of a deal!0
