Aussie acan lord Vs Micromussa lord

[DVal]

Hey guys, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the micromussa and acan difference. What I see labeled as an Aussie lord is totally different that micromussa lord...correct? Or are they still the same?

Acan was reclassified as a micromussa a few years ago. So no there really is no difference now. Some may have larger polyps than others but taxonomy-wise they’re the same.

Thanks. I knew they were reclassified, but still see Aussie lords vs Micro lords for sale. That's what was confusing me.

The smaller ones are genus micromussa amakasenis. The larger ones are micromussa Lordhowensis formally known as acans.
