I have 4 acans I received a while back and are currently sitting in my frag tank until I get the new tank running.
Any help would be great since they are unknowns to me :)

Sorry about the pictures... they are not the best they could be.

The one on the bottom right looks like a POTO Sweet As Candy or maybe sweet tooth. I have no idea about the rest, they might not have a name. Most acans are not named.

+1 even if an acan is a named. It is next to impossible to id it. Lighting varies in each tank and acans morph more than chalices. The bottom right is often referred to as candy stripes. It is a general description for the red with usually whitish candy cane stripes, but can be any color as long as it has candy cane effect. The general term for rainbows for acans having at least 5 colors. Some sites will go as low as 4 colors.
 
Thanks for the info... I also just learnt from a friend they all are also considered Lords... he gave me great detail into why, but after a long day of college... I think I forgot most of it.. LOL
