I don't think so that would be a devils hand. And that doesn't look like a devils hand. Can you please show us where you found that info.

that is a stony coral for starters.

yeah, that's a pretty big mouth
but it looks kind of like it is encrusting, which doesn't seem like scoly MO

if it was zoomed it would resemble echinophyllia, but IMO, that mouth is too big for those.


final answer some kind of scoly/meat/wellso,whatever big LPS that can swell up poofy................there that should really narrow it down for ya

ok, I got nothing............

I think its some type of Lobophyllia. Cynarina grows its own "pot" to sit in. This one seems more encrusting. The toothiness of it looks like a Lobo. JMHO
