The way I distinguish them is that if they're small and they have a tube-like structure for each head they're the blastomussa merletti, if they're big and are kind of connected to each other like an acan they're blastomussa wellsi.
 
Thats a good point reefer999. You could blow some water on, get the polyps to pull back in, it to get a better look at the skeletal structure.
 
I went away for the weekend a few months back and it fell on the sand a few heads died so I zoomed in a bit there. Fortunately they are growing back.
