Is this a bowerbanki?

Hey there Reefers! I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I know I did have some fun getting some PAR readings and a couple new corals.

I got this piece from a fellow Reefer and he said it’s a button scoly... now I saw a baby head on the side which led me to think it can possibly be a bowerbanki soooo I thought I’d ask the genius minds of R2R

Could be H. bowerbanki. Honestly it also looks a bit like M. lordhowensis as well. How big is that disc it's on?

Looks more like a micro lord to me

It’s on one of those oversized plugs I think 1.5” or 1.25”

Bowers are generally larger and hardly if ever come in that color. If you paid less than 75-150 I would say its a micro

I got it as a gift from a fellow Reefer he said it’s a button scoly but doesn’t look like one to me

i don’t think it’s a button scoly, I think it’s either a bower or a lord. Can you get another shot of the new head? First thought was that it’s clearly a lord but then I looked at it again and it seems different. I’m still leaning towards it being a lord but could be a bower.
