Possibly an ID request (Pretty sure it's an Acan, but not a lord nor an echinata) and also if anyone's seen similar. Let me know what you think-

No offense but it's hard to tell when the pic is kinda shoved in your face like that:twitch:

Possibly a A.hemprichii? Would be easier to tell more if you could kill the actinic lighting, tap the coral so it's polyps retract, that will make it's skeletal structure more conspicuous for a more accurate guess at it's ID.

No offence taken, I assure you :fun2: j/k!

I took the pic on random and when i had it pulled up, my gf commented that it was really pretty and she liked it, where I call it Troll's Puke to reference how attractive I find it (cool but not pretty.) So yea, not the best ID pic, I'll try and put up a newer one. Would a pure flash be better for IDing? Or I can just kill that 2 of the 4 bulbs so it'll be a 1/1 daylight-actinic isntead of 1/4.
Thanks for the guess, I'll look that one up.

Send it to me. I'll force it to confess its identity. :)

It looks like an echinata with its feeders out to me
