Did I hit jackpot with 6 head scolymia or it's just a another regular lobo or acan.

Did it hit jackpot with this 6 head scolymia?

Look up pics of Micromussa pacifica... I think that might be what you have.

It might very well be micromusy Pacifica, only thing that hold me back is these are collected from water near Australia.
Going to try meaty food tomorrow to see if feeding behavior changes.

I'll scratch M. pacifica off the list. I think it's either a scoly or Bowerbanki. He only thing keeping me from saying Bowerbanki is the blue coloration and the radial lines coming from the centers that I have not seen in any bowebankis before. While I have seen then plenty of times on Scolies.
I say wait. It it grows any new heads, I would be pretty certain it's a Bowerbanki. If it stays just like that, then I would assume it to be a scoly.

This is a wild collected piece, I got it like last week. I don't think it's going to grow more head...feeding response is poor maybe due to not adjusting to tank water yet.

Thank you for all your help, otherwise I wouldn't be able to take all these steps to verify. Still...maybe others will point out something new.
