I like it too. It was advertised and sold as a Acan maxima but now actually have doubts upon examining it up close.

Without bleaching it and then looking at the skeleton under a stereoscope, I don't think anyone could confirm it as an Acan maxima. Also, if it wasn't collected in the Red Sea, then technically it isn't:

Most corals in the hobby are assigned a name based on a look, many incorrectly. I think that's the case here. Acan's with this look are called Acan maxima, though technically they aren't. It's a beautiful find nevertheless, and I hope to see how it grows out. Please post updates.
