Looks sort of like an echino.

Looks sort of like an echino.

yeah it has acan ech. skeleton, but looks like it encrusts like a echino. but the polyps with flesh look like acan ech. I dont see the typical echino skeleton but it is hard to say. I am going to go with acanthastrea echinata or a type of.
