Purchased this from a tank tear down. I think it is an Acan, what do you think?

That to me is a Acan. Although they were reclassified recently to micromussa after calling them acans for so long it hard to break the habit. Plus Acan sounds better
 
Looks like an acan from the size of the polyps. If you had to guess what would be the length of the polyps? Generally micromussa tend to be 7mm across and below and acans are 10 mm and above.

I thought the Microsmussa’s had the larger polyps and Acans were smaller.
