Coral identification...

[acropora66]

anybody know what this is? got it from some hole in the wall fish store who had no clue what it was, but I liked it so I bought it. sorry pictures aren't the best but hope someone can identify.

I am looking through my coral book and THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE!!! I'll never get these coral ID's down, but from the pics I have here, the Favia looks the most like yours.

You might wish to post in the reef forum or the SPS/trading forum if you haven't already :yes:
Tizzo, you and many coral experts would agree Which is why some of them have such high hopes for DNA. So don't worry, you aren't missing anything, its just the nature of the animals!

Does it have small tentacles that come out at night? It looks like my mint candy coral. Carrie

It's either an echinopora or echinophyllia. That's as specific I can get.

it is echinopora. I looked it up after he suggested and that is what it is. thanx
