I bought this years ago as an Acan but had one member in my home tell me it may be something else (can't remember what Scott called it)
Whatever it is, it's super happy and will be getting some new space soon ...

Any thoughts are much appreciated

Favites sp. Maybe someone knows the species off-hand...I can't think of it.

The edges of the heads are pronounced/separated such as an Acan
All the Favites pics I can find show them sharing a 'wall' of each head

Thanks for the link

Mindy, I think you're on the right track, although it's looking more like a favia
I'll need to turkey baste it a bit a get some more pics up

I think you're right Greg.
just took this from a thread on RS...
favia have distinct separations beween corallites where favites share corallite walls
