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.

Thanks. Didn't even know about those.

Bowerbankis are Homophyllia, not Acanthastrea.
 
Yea yea
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…
