Micromussa
The more recent classification for this coral is Micromussa lordhowensis. Over the years, scientists have refined coral classifications based on new research and understanding. This has led to some species being reclassified into new or different genera.
Originally classified as Acanthastrea lordhowensis, this coral has been reclassified into the Micromussa genus based on new data and research, particularly related to the skeletal structure of the coral.
However, as the coral hobby trade often lags behind scientific taxonomy in terms of name changes, many people and stores may still refer to this coral as Acanthastrea lordhowensis, even though its most accurate classification, is Micromussa lordhowensis.
