Hello newbie reefer here...need help identifying a coral

[Destinthecrab]

Hello, just bought a few frags to start with in my quarantine tank...the LFS said this was an acan but I just wanted to double check because it looks different from any acan coral photos I've seen. Any help would be appreciated

Favia aren't too hard, keep them a least a couple inches from other coral. Mine like some mysis shrimp occasionally

Put a flashlight on your tank about an hour after lights out. Happy coral will frequently have out sweepers tentacles. Pretty cool to watch, but they can sting other coral
