I believe the original colony came to us as blastomussa merleti. I'm not so sure. Thoughts? I feel that it could be Micromussa amakusensis.

Ridges on the polyps dont look like blasto to me. You may be onto
That's definitely an outstanding difference.Ridges on the polyps dont look like blasto to me. You may be onto something.
I'm about 99.9% sure it's micromussa amakusensis.I’d say it’s some kinda of favia. I’ve never seen a blasto with feeding tentacles like that.
It could be, I don’t usually see them with as defined of ridges as yours has though. But a pretty piece regardless!I'm about 99.9% sure it's micromussa amakusensis.
Agreed for sure on that lol. Lmk if you're interested in a nice frag. I cut down about 20 pieces from the parent colony. Each is a little smaller than the pic above. I always cut myself a few extra heads lol. Perks. I couldn't find an outstanding common name, so I'm calling them crimson raider micromussa for now.It could be, I don’t usually see them with as defined of ridges as yours has though. But a pretty piece regardless!
I am looking at the exact specimen above right now lol. I have it in my 20 gallon midway up the rockwork. It is under a radion xr30 pro g5 at 10% intensity. Its doing really really well. Seems to take moderate flow and lighting with no issues.OG product description says:
Placement: Top
Lighting: High
Waterflow: Moderate
Quick research into the micromussa above suggests that lower intensity lighting is preferred and placement generally middle to bottom.
Can anyone confirm one way or another [for the specific specimen shown above]?
Few examples:
