scoly or bowerbanki?
Hello guys so I've had what was sold to me as a scoly for 70.00 for almost a year now. Here's a little back story my tank got neglected for quiet some time and this coral discolored for a couple months. Now I've started to take of the tank again and noticed that I have 2 new mouths on my scoly(or at least I think it's a scoly) can someone please tell me if this is a scoly or a bowerbanki the size of the coral is about 3 inches it's one of those mini scolys apparently.

Sure looks like a scoly. I have a couple with multiple heads and we are seeing more of them lately with additional heads on the side. Additional pics and size comparison can help.

K I'll try to get more pictures later on for you guys. I just find it weird that I have babies that ggrew I just thought they were extra flesh from some receding that happend in the past but now that I've goten it's color back and I definitely see 2 extra mouths I thought it would have been a bowerbanki instead. Didn't think scolys grew babies
