Either way, he's all by himself in the lower corner. Would love a positive ID. [emoji106]

Hard telling which Echinata. Might need to color up some. Also, don't keep them near Acan Lord. Those two do not get along.

He did not like the bright light that's for sure.

It's an acan but doesn't look like an echinata to me. Looks more like a bowerbanki or hillae. The picture and light may be fooling me. Echinata do not have much separation between polyps. They have a tendency to look more like a chalice.

I actually was leaning more towards lordhowensis myself. Hopefully I'm heading to Orlando tomorrow to WWC so maybe I can see some more clearly.

Thanks for the input!

That had a great anniversary sale last weekend. Had the back farm open, it was packed.

If more round and each polyp size of a quarter. Lords is very possible. Bowers and hilea are much larger and less uniform in roundness. Lords are no longer called acans though now called micromussa. Granted old school micros are identical looking. Now sites just listing both as micros. You can't tell if lords or old school micros.

That's what I figured. Was wondering about compatibility with the other House of Lords so to say.
