This was sold to me online as a micromussa. The photo provided to me was not nearly this good and it was feeding at the time.

Its a Favia, isn't it.

I would have to say favia by the way the polyps appear to be connected.

I dont know. I think it could be micromussa diminuta. Here is a link look and see what you think:

Note a similar species M. minuta even describes it as looking more like a Faviid underwater.

Healthy looking coral either way though.

I second micro diminuta, How thick is the skeleton?

Tough one. I can't tell if it's a Musside or a Favide. Mussides have very pointy teeth on the corallites. Favides corallites are more smooth.
