Ancan?

Has anybody heard of a coral called Ancan in the Faviidae family?

I'm pretty sure that's what everyone that clicked on this thread thought.

I just bought this guy which was sold as an "Ancan"

I will take a better pic when it gets here.

If you check out his page, he misspells that corals name a few times, a few different ways actually. "Ancathastrea" and "Ancan"

The correct genus is Acanthastrea, and its not a faviid, its a mussid. That said, its tough to tell from the photo if that coral is an acan or not; show us pics when you get it

Yep obviously the guy misspelled Acan.
