Scoly or Acan?

[tonysnow1990]

Sold to me as an Acan. got it for 20. I'm thinking it's a scoly. Any opinions would be helpful!

I will have to say it looks like a scoly to me also. Not being a coral ID expert myself, but I do believe they are in the same family as a acan and thus, can be called a acan. Either way its still beautiful!

Thank you! For 20 bucks it was quite a steal!

Hard to say without seeing the skeleton when it's this small. Usually with a frag that tiny you can see the sides from where it was cut and look for signs that it came from a larger colony. Scolys are singular and won't show signs of coming from a larger colony.

From what I see, it does not look like it was cut. I mean it was glued on a frag plug but I don't think it was cute to do so.

It is very small but my bet is it’s a Scoly
