same conversation different day - noone seems to get it
i just tried to explain this to someone else the other day
now obviously the experts could be wrong, (and obviously therefor i am wrong for reading their work)
but given the difficulty of coral id even if you have an actual dead skeleton of one, let alone from a photo - i will trust the likes of Veron, Sprung, and others when they say A. maxima is endemic to the reefs of oman (endemic by the way means only found there)
do some research

i have an acan some say was maxima but same thing its very very unlikly, i was told, because they only come from the oman sea....
they said maybe a bowerbanki(maybe spelled wrong) would be more likely
