Hi all.
This was bought as a scolymia. But out of all the other ones I have, which have 1 mouth, this appears to have several.
Someone said it could be an acan, but that seems unlikely as they are not available/legal for import in my country. Or the supplier at least says so.
Thanks in advance

Not a Scolymia. Looks like and Acan bowerbanki. They are considerably larger than lordhowensis and if it came in as a single polyp could be mistaken for a Scoly.

And many still call them that just like Acan lordhowensis changed to Micromussa

And good to have the latest correct name for those that care…
