From RMW? Lord, lorddd, "micromussa" (favia?/Montsastrea?), lord, echinata.

First 2 look like Acanthastrea Lordhowensis (Acan Lords)...third looks like a Favia of some sort...fourth looks like and Acan Lord again...and the last one looks like an Acan Echinata

The Lords look like the standard Indo variety

epidemic,

Yes, they are from RMW. Is that really a micromussa?

epidemic · Nov 4, 2006

Not sure, I have wondered that myself. So many little mussids that look alike.

epidemic · Nov 4, 2006

There are several different species of micromussa. The one you see most of the time is Micromussa amakuensis, but there are also micro. minuta and M. diminuta which both look like favia to me.

I wil agree with that, But you cant say minuta doesnt look like that, They do look like favids, But have a trait i can see, But cant actually say its true so i wont repeat it. JMO with my minuta and favia.
