Honestly hobby names are fun but I would really like to know the species and where this originates from.

The species is Micromussa lordhowensis. There is no way of determining exactly which locality it is, as they are found throughout all of the tropical pacific. Most likely from Australia or Indonesia, though.

Micromussa get along with Micromussa usually. The one caution is that not all Acans were reclassified as Micromussa so it won't necessarily get along with all Acan varieties.
