coral identification

[awoessmi]

Anyone have any idea what kind of coral this is. I completely forgot the name of it when I bought it and cannot seem to find anything similar. Any help would be appreciated!

Can you get a pic in whites, it's really hard to tell from the picture provided.

Hard to tell. Can you get a pic in white light? It seems like some sort of "Acan", but over ther past few years several have been renamed by scientists to other groups. Of course alot of reefers still will refer to those regrouped corals as "Acans" even though they are no longer scientifically considered to be members of Acanthrophyllia. So a clearer pic in white light would be helpful in identifying what it is.

Acans were classified as micromussa, acanthophyllia would be considered meat coral. Acanthastrea would be considered echinata
