Hi! I know I’m new to this hobby so calling experts to help me ID this coral.
I thought I was buying a Acanthophyllia. But to me this looks more like a cynaria? Am I wrong?

To me this looks like a cynarina... But it is kind of acantho like too.

Is it more "meaty" than fleshy? Fleshy = cynarina in my mind.
It looks more fleshy. And kind of transparent.
It was sold as an Acanthophyllia

Cynarina cf macassarensis
I was thinking it was too because there is a Acanthophyllia at my LPS and it’s thinner and you can’t see through it and looks more like a volcano. This one is more like a doughnut.
