I got this gorgeous piece today and was hoping for a definitive ID. Some say Echinopora and others say Echinophylia. Thanks.

phylia is my guess but I am not an expert.... best leave this one up to RandyO

I would say it's Echinophyllia but not sure which species. Could be E. echinoporodies or E. aspera.

That's a very nice piece though. They usually don't come in that colorful. You have to color them up yourself. Nice Score.

Thanks. I was told it was an Echinopora lamellosa. The closest thing I could find on the net was a blue chalice at Reeffarmer. They kinda look alike but still wasn't sure.

seems like lamellosa is the name most wholesalers use when selling echinophylia?i dont know why but ive noticed a lot on list and on cites on the net whove got them for sale.
