The first photo posted is, without a doubt, NOT A. maxima. Im not sure its even Acanthastrea (though its likely some kind of Mussid).

guess its not maxima... but its not a lord or scolly. larger polyp is 2" across, and the smaller one is 1" across. they are perfectly round. just sayin, bought them as maxima... anyways, i'm happy with the colors.

I guess the pic is deceiving?
Based on the frag plug in the front of the pic, the polyp looked about 1" across at most to me

the frag plug in the picture is 4" in front of the polyp... the polyp is bigger than the plug in the picture, kind of lets you see the scale of things i hope.
