Status While Coppard & Lessios (2017) did not formally synonymize E. wetmorei with E. micropora, it is clear from their paper that they consider them to be synonyms. They wrote: "However, with the exception of specimens of E. micropora insularis from Isla Socorro, there was no structure to support these variants [of E. micropora] either in morphology (as indicated by the specific and subspecific names) or in geographical location. Subclades did not include all members of a morphospecies; the same subclade included morphologically divergent specimens, such as those of E. micropora micropora, mixed with E. wetmorei and E. laevis.
