Help ID please

Im not sure the difference between micromussa, and acans if there is any.
Any way I picked this up at the LFS about a week ago.He just got it in that morning and it was under 20k MH and it was glowing orange. I have t-5s with probably a 12k look. I got a good deal on it due to some of the die off.
I have a photo with flash and without.

acanthastrea species, IMO. if you saw micromussa, you'd know there's a difference. micros are acually very micro - small and pea sized polyps. plus my micro had a much deeper coralite than that coral ^. I have a few acanthasrea echinata that look similar, but it could def be another acan species. GL

rainbow acan echinata. $80 seems high to me, I personally would place a value of $50 I look at it this way, if you like the coral enough price will not matter (Found out the hard way numerous times). How is the recession going with the coral?
