LPS Acan ID - Bowerbanki or Hillae?

[JaaxReef]

So I have this coral that started as a tiny nub last August the size of a dime that dropped off the mother colony from a friend.

It is an insane tangerine orange with lighter orange striping. I’m leaning toward Acan Hillae for ID, but could be a Bowerbanki?

It has grown VERY well from its tiny former self and I’m very happy I snagged it. I attached a picture when I got it as well as two recent shots as of today. Can’t even see the plug anymore when it is opened up!

Cool!

I’m curious, what makes it for certain a Bowerbanki over a Hillae?

They are the same coral now. They are classified as the same coral.

Previously, I thought Hillae were smaller Bowerbanki.
