I recently added a new micromussa that is within a couple of inches of this other micromussa but want to make sure they are the same species. This one looks somewhat different. Are these both lords?
Thanks!

The brighter green looks like a favia to me.
Wow, I didn’t even consider that. Now I’m hoping to get some confirmation. I have some Zoas a couple inches away that all closed up about a week ago and now I’m wondering if it is a Favia and it sending out sweepers at night… may need to do some relocating.

looks like dragonsoul favia which is now classified as dipsastrea iirc. @encrustingacro
Yes! I believe you are correct and now I know why my Zoas are closing up next to it. I’m glad I asked. Thanks!
