Seems to be M. thomasiana. M. papillifera can excluded because M. p. shows much longer ans sharper tips at the lobe ends. the apex with M. rotata is bit longer than the body. And M. r. is very large. What is the scale on your pictures?

Thanks,
Mike M. radiosa is round, it is not likely.

Ralf It is the size of M.rotata, but is very compact and the elliptical, I do not know

M. thomasiana for my money. Is this 'wild caught' or cultured?

I found.
And this is what species?
I have trouble with the big M.
