Non-indo / non-aussie lords?

[PatientZero]

I am curious of people opinion of this coral. I bought it as a non-indo lord a while before the aussie lords started making their way to the US. Its mouths used to be much greener before I moved from MH to T5 lighting. The polyps are very small, closer to that of a micromussa, but it looks closer to a lord. It was also a SUPER slow grower. It took over a year to start putting out the first baby polyps.

The first pic is of the coral on a disk. The second photo shows it next to a micromussa colony for size reference.

I have no experience with the non-indo "japanese" lords.

Just curious of what people think

I've not come across any non-indo/non-aussie lords before. Curious as to what they might be as well if they're not micromussa.

Looks like a acanthastrea lordhowensis to me. Very similar to the ones that were first being imported.

yeah, the look different from micros and but its much smaller then regular lords.
Here is a pic from the mother colony taken by the guy I bought it from
