Help naming these guys

[K626]

I've searched around and haven't found anything concrete yet. Id would be great if you can. I know they're zoas, mushroom, and acan. But not their names.

Hey bud, you Do know their Names. As you said, Zoa, Disco mushroom and Acan Lorde. That's what you need to know.

What you don't know is any fancy trade name someone may have given them to up the price. At the same time zyx coral retailer was selling them with the fancy title, PDQ coral inc had the same ones from the same import calling it totally different things. Once it's out of the hands of the giver of silly names, retrieving said name is both pointless and almost impossible.

I'm just curious. I've got a good amount of zoas etc, but I like to know the fancy name if anyone knows it.

The acan above the scrambled eggs? I should have been more specific in that one. Magicians and solar flair sound familiar so that's probably it. The 2 acans have me a little stumped as the purple/ green has pink strips in it now and I haven't seen any of the pink/ blue ones for sale anywhere to ask.

The first one is probably some kind of agave, give it more light and the white speckles should show up nicely. The last pic is solar flares

Larry, Darryl, and other Darryl. Those are good names for your corals.

Zoas are already difficult to pin down, but acans are next to impossible. Acans can change colors so drastically (and quickly), that it’s impossible to say with certainty what they are. Plus acans aren’t like zoas where it’s easy for a novice reefer to frag them, they don’t get traded around like zoas do. Keep an eye on the major online coral retailers and notice that week to week they’ll have nearly identical acans with different names each week, they’ll sometimes have nearly identical acans right next each other with different names. It really is a fool’s errand trying figure what silly name some random retailer decided to give a coral (especially when different retailers get the same coral from the same importer at the same time and both name it something different).
