Are these 3 acans the same or different species?

I’m gonna be uploading pics of my tank. It’s my first venture into the mixed reef realm. I’m quite proud of my progress. Completely peaceful tank too with its mates. No aggression whatsoever. Something I’ve arrived to get. Love this hobby.

Acanthastrea Micromussa, formally known as Acanthastrea Lordhowensis or Acan Lord for short. Nice pieces :D

Thanks. Never had them before. Love the coloration. I’m already wanting to upgrade the size of my tank.
 
They all look like micromussa lordhowensis. Depending where you bought them from, the top pic could be an asian variant.
