yes it is a Acanthastrea Lordhowensis but is there a nickname for it by any chance or its just plain name?

 

[duke62]

not many people will give you the made up name unless they are the guys who sell a 2 headed acan for 300 dollars.if you like it name it angelos acan lord

So what you really want is a commercial nick name or a nick name ... well just as duke said angelos acan lord is good if it suits your fancy.

:approve: so then angelos acan lord it will be :approve:

Just one last thing that I just noticed ... you ask for an SPS identification, but Acanthastrea lordhowensis is an LPS ... not that it will change much about the identification, its just in case beginners see it so they do not get confused.

All the best with your angelos acan lord.
