Acanthastrea lordhowensis I believe

Looks more like a favia to me. Typically, acanthastrea don't have so much separate between the coralites. Here's an actual retracted lordhowensis:

You'll need to give your lighting specs before anyone can tell you where to put it in the tank...

My 70 gal tank has 4 -39 watt t5 and 2 tunze nano streams. The tank is 27 inches tall. Does anyone think it could be a echinata?
When the mouth is open and the feeding tentacles are extended they are very small. The ring of feeding tentacles is about 1/8 of an inch in diameter. Definitely not a Lords
