Acan or What?

[NanaReefer]

Doesn't look like any I've ever seen. Any ideas on species?

That looks a lot like a Micromussa, one of my favorite corals.
Not my image.

I think it looks closer to a blasto judging by the bumpy tissue in the blasto to more of a smooth tissue in the Micromussa. But environmental factors can influence that.

 

[fragit]

Agree on the Blasto!

100% micromussa lordhowensis formerly Acanthastrea lordhowensis

It is a micromussa lord. I never saw blastomussa with feeders tentacles.

 

[WetWhistle]

My blasto get feeders from time to time. The coral is a little light in color so would be making up for low Zooxanthellae.

 

[Shep]

Not a blasto, head shape is different plus they dont really have a depressed center like that. I agree on the micromussa

 

[Wilsoni]

+1 on Micromussa. Needless to say it's a beautiful piece

 

[Squid]

Yup micro lord

 

[NanaReefer]

Thank you all [emoji2] I've had it for better then a year now, from just 1 head. Was told then it was an Acan but it doesn't look anything like my other Acans.
Obviously it's doing quit well. This closeup shows some pretty cool colors.

 

[WetWhistle]

It looks very nice regardless.
