I love knowing what's in my tank... that being said... I picked up this acan like two weeks ago in the LFS, since I just have to have one (favorite coral). It was super light pink and white at the time (obviously bleached). Over the last two weeks, it's had a huge onset of color. Does anyone have some guesses as to the variety?

I'm also not sure as to how the color will continue to change as I shift into full spectrum LEDs. I've been feeding it like a pig.

That's not a color. I know it's an acan lord.

Not many people call acans by names. I think only places like cherry corals are naming their acans....

My bad, to answer your question it looks orange with some white on it. If you're looking for one of those scam marketing names they put on Acans these days then if you bought it as a TheWalletFlattener Acan or whatever then it is one, and if you didn't buy it with a name then it isn't one.

You have what you bought, which is an Aussie Acan lord from the LFS with orange and some white on it.

Does that mean I can come up with my own "designer" name? haha. I didn't buy it with a name, I bought it because I really like it :) I like it even more now that more coloring is coming out.
