    Picked this up a few months ago and I don't know what it's called. Slow growth...

    Looks like an Acan Enchinata to me. A very nice one at that!

    It is an Acan Echinata, watch out for placement, they are supposed to have some wicked stinging tentacles that will mess up its neighbors.

    They also like more light than Lordhowensis.
