Dont have any particular image, but what i am talking about are acros that basically look like an echinata, but with the tips of the corallites much wider, giving a sort of knob like appearance.

The few pictures that appear when you google the bkchem gummiworm acro are an example of this, and i saw a green-blue one at a local LFS with the same growth form. Anyone got an idea what these are? i have only got so far that they are some kind of "deepwater acro". They aren't just normal echinatas that just grow thicker at the point where they are taken from the wild into aquariums, are they?
 
Well i sadly didnt take one at the LFS and i really dont like reposting other people's pictures. But if you google "gummiworm acro" on google images, thats pretty much the only thing that shows up, atleast for me. I cant find many pictures of A. awi but on the ones I do I do not really see the growth pattern i am talking about, almost like an enlarged ball at the tips of the corallites.
 
They don’t always grow the same. A. Navini, A. Fenneri are other options
