Im not sure thats a M. lordhowensis, heads are pretty small, a pic of it without its feeders extended would help distinguish.
M. amakusensis would be my guess.

Still pretty hard to see details needed, white light pics would be better
lordhowensis are generally larger polyps eg nickel- quarter size where as amakusensis are much smaller, dime size or smaller. also lordhowensis will have a somewhat row like pattern in the texture of the corals mantle, where amakusensis texture will be less prominent and not organized, either way,
Micromussa lordhowensis and micromussa amakusensis both have the same husbandry/ care requirements.
Like @hemmsaid , very nice piece

Because corals are constantly being reclassified as we discover more and are able to class them better

you think coral taxonomy reclassification is confusing, insects and arachnids taxonomy changes with each day of the week it seems like.
